In the video above, fans are shown a montage of shots. “In 2018, discover the lineage of a legend,” stands as the teaser’s tag line, and fans can see different scenes flicker on the screen. A Kryptonian spacecraft is seen speeding through space before a reversed shot of what appears to be Krypton itself explodes. The teaser also gives a look at some of the series’ key characters, and the House of El has its S-shield put on displays multiple times.
“The blood of House El is what will always bind us together,” a voice can be heard saying as the trailer fades. It’s not clear who is saying the line, but fans are willing to bet the dialogue belongs to none other that Superman’s grandfather himself.
Krypton is expected to be a midseason debut for SyFy in its 2017/2018 season.
Krypton is Superman prequel in the mold as Fox’s Batman prequel Gotham. The show, which has been picked up to series by SyFy, will follow Superman’s on grandfather as he tries to redeem the honor of the House of El generations before the destruction of the planet. The official synopsis follows:
