Krypton Lands A Showrunner As It Finally Closes In On A Pilot Order

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about Krypton, the Syfy TV series which was first announced around eighteen months ago. In fact, despite a somewhat positive update from David S. Goyer, it seemed as if this was another DC Comics TV series which would never get made.

Well, Krypton has taken one step closer to becoming a reality today, as the network is close to giving the show a pilot order, something which means we could very well see it premiere later this year. In fact, it has now landed Damian Kindler to executive produce and serve as showrunner. He’s been busy re-writing the first episode with Goyer, and director Colm McCarthy now looks set to helm the pilot.

Set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet, Krypton follows Superman’s grandfather as he fights to redeem his family’s honour and save his beloved world from chaos.
