Superman prequel series KRYPTON has reportedly been given the green light to produce its pilot episode by the Syfy network, according to TheWrap.
The Hollywood Reporter has the following info about this new show:
"From Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics, Krypton takes place years before the Superman legend we know, when the House of El was shamed and ostracized. The drama follows the Man of Steel's grandfather as he brings hope and equality to Krypton, turning a planet in disarray into one worthy of giving birth to the greatest Superhero ever known.
"As the projects nears a pickup, Damian Kindler (Sleepy Hollow, Stargate SG-1) has come on board as executive producer and showrunner, with Colm McCarthy (Peaky Blinders, Sherlock) set to direct. Ian Goldberg (Once Upon a Time) penned the script and will exec produce alongside [David S.] Goyer. The story was conceived by both Goyer and Goldberg."
