The DC Universe streaming service has landed the second season of Krypton.
KryptonSite has received confirmation that Krypton Season 2 will be joining DC Universe in HD quality on August 11. The second season originally aired on Syfy last year, and introduced new characters like Lobo (Emmett Scanlan) to the mix. Krypton’s arrival on DC Universe is not long after the conclusion of the latest seasons of DC’s Stargirl and Doom Patrol — with both of those series also high on our “recommended” list.
Sadly, two seasons are all we’ve got for Krypton, but two seasons of this fantastic show are certainly better than nothing, with fantastic performances throughout, including the best interpretations to date of such characters as Brainiac and General Zod. And that’s not even mentioning some of the other great talents from lead actor Cameron Cuffe on down. You can join DC Universe here where the first season is already available to watch!
What if Superman never existed? Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, “Krypton” follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather, as a young man who fights to save his home planet from destruction. Season 2 brings us back to a changed Kandor, locked in a battle over its freedom and its future. General Dru-Zod (Colin Salmon) is now in control. He’s on a ruthless mission to rebuild Krypton according to his ideals and to secure its future by conquering the universe. Faced with a bleak outlook, our hero, Seg-El, attempts to unite a dispersed group of resisters in an effort to defeat Zod and restore hope to their beloved planet. Their chance at redemption is threatened however, by their opposing tactics, shifting alliances and conflicting moral boundaries – forcing each of them to individually determine how far they’re willing to go in pursuit of a better tomorrow.
“Krypton” is from Warner Horizon Scripted Television and is executive produced by David S. Goyer (“Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy) through his Phantom Four banner, alongside Cameron Welsh (“Constantine,” “The Last Ship”), who serves as showrunner. Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the series stars Cameron Cuffe (“The Halcyon”) as Seg-El, Georgina Campbell (“Broadchurch”) as Lyta-Zod, Shaun Sipos (“The Vampire Diaries”) as Adam Strange, Colin Salmon (“Arrow”) as General Dru-Zod, Ann Ogbomo (“World War Z”) as Jayna-Zod, Aaron Pierre (“Britannia”) as Dev-Em, Rasmus Hardiker (“Your Highness”) as Kem, Wallis Day (“Will”) as Nyssa-Vex, Blake Ritson (“Da Vinci’s Demons”) as Brainiac and Ian McElhinney (“Game of Thrones”) as Val-El.
