About

Years before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel's home planet, Superman's grandfather, Seg-El, fights to redeem his family's honor after the House of El is ostracized and shamed over Seg's grandfather's false claims of a world-killer coming to Krypton.

When an attack on the government is attempted, Seg seizes an opportunity to advance himself and his family by allying with those who sentenced his grandfather to execution and destroyed his family's name but when evidence that his grandfather's claims were true is discovered, Seg must work within the system that discarded the House of El in order to protect their future legacy.

[Revival] possible?

Considering DC shows have been cancelled and revived later on, how likely do you think it is for us to get a revival of the series?

Young Justice was cancelled 3 times and still came back every time and managed to end on its own terms. So I have hope of a revival. Maybe on Max?

[Discussion] Original Timeline

I recently rewatched Krypton and was wondering what the original timeline would've looked like. I know Brainiac succeeds in capturing Kandor with Seg being trapped there but do his parents survive? How are General Zod and Zor-El born? Would Brainiac still turn Ona into a bomb and succeed in killing Kem? How do you guys think the original timeline played out?

[no spoilers] SEG'S BLACK EYESSSS

S2E2. When he gets possessed by Brainiac. Adam notes how "[his] eyes are getting blacker by the second." I have not forgotten this. I forget if his eyes really are black during that scene, but DAYUMN...

I wish Seg didn't resist Vril's possession so he could be a sexy evil betrayer with black eyes and the Kryptonian version of Parallax!Hal or evil TOM 2.

[Discussion] It’s been a while since anyone’s talked about this amazing show. We need more! Think about how cool it would be if they somehow restored it and connected it to the SnyderVerse!! Very unlikely, but it’s fun to think about. We need season 3!!!!!!!!😩😩

Why didn't Kryptonians simply leave Krypton? Or at least Kandor City. Even after people finally believed Braniac was real, why stay when they could pop off to other planets? [Discussion]

I mean seriously. Everyone on the planet knew Braniac existed (or at least in the final episodes). They saw his face, saw his ship, and knew he was going to destroy the planet. Why wouldn't people just take a ship and leave Krypton? Or at the very least, leave Kandor City, regroup, and then leave Krypton later.

They only started leaving when Seg and the others pushed them to the exit, like there was a fire or something. If I were them, I would've left asap.

[Discussion] Wish they could conclude these stories in a comic series

It might not be the show. But it would offer some kind of closure.

[Question] Wasn’t Seg supposed to have two sons?

Supergirl has a father too. Zor-El. He and Jor-El are brothers. Which makes Superman and Supergirl cousins.

I wonder who his mother would have been?

[Spoiler] I just watched Krypton and I absolutely loved it! Sad to know this one got killed off prematurely.

I know I'm very much late to the party but like I have said in the title, I have just watched it and I loved it very much. I do have some bones to pick but nonetheless, I am very sad to see such a great show get killed off like that. Season 2 ended with so much cliffhangers and so much potential!

Brainiac still has Jor-El, Nyssa is in Rann, Seg-EL and Lobo teamed up, Dru-Zod still alive. The timeline now is very much messed up and that love triangle between Seg-El, Lyta-Zod, and Nyssa-Vex is equally so but I would have loved to see how all of it play out. There was so much potential. So much in store for it. I'm gosh darn late but I am very much sad and disappointed.

I know it has been months since its cancellation but is there still a way that this show gets picked up? man, this is such a good show. It such a waste that it got cancelled.

[FANFIC]Metropolis Now

Hey Folks,

Last year I wrote a spec script for Krypton that never got used.

It's past its expiatory date now for me as a writing sample, but I figure you might get a kick out of reading it.

Link here.

Hope you like it!

[Question] Why is the planet Krypton so inhospitable?

Why is the planet Krypton so inhospitable? It can't have always be this way. I think they mentioned some kind of cataclysm in the series, but what exactly happened? Why are there only a few cities left under domes? Why doesn't the planet look more like Earth with tons of plants and animals like it likely once had?

[No Spoilers] Dissapointed to see a great show killed off in it's prime but why did this happen?

I'm sorry if I'm a bit behind most of you guys but this show has literally just finished where I live.

I was sad and surprised they axed it after only 2 series. I'm not asking why it was axed; I know it was due to disappointing viewing figures so my question is why do you guys think it wasn't more popular? To me it's got huge hit written all over it - it's based on the lore of the most iconic superhero (and as we know anything based on comics is in vogue right now) but it's different enough to the usual superhero fare that it can be enjoyed by someone who's not a big comic/Superman fan, most importantly the writing and acting is very good and it's just a quality show.

The worst thing for me was that it was cut off in it's absolute prime. The last couple of episodes were truly epic TV and at the end there were so many lose ends and potential for future storylines that I couldn't wait to see where it could go next. The least the show deserved was a proper ending.

[Theory] A crazy theory, but it just might be...

What if the cancellation of Krypton is the first "casuality" of Crisis on Infinite Earths? The crossover between studios could then potentially bridge the gap for Krypton to be picked up by another DC studio, with the crossover remaining as a self-contained story (in which the planet is somehow saved) so Krypton could continue its current story arcs.

I have no proof or arguments as to why that would be the case. I doubt it will come to fruition, but I will keep my hope alive. After all, that's what the House of El stands for!

it has been a few weeks is there a plan or is there no hope at this point for pickup

a tweet storm, sending sunstones to execs or flying a plane banner over a streaming HQ? is there a target platform? DCU, netflix, amazon, HBOMax?

anything planned at this point or has the wind gone out of folks sails and the cancellation is final and fixed as Krypton's imminent destruction?

[Spoilers] Questions about the babysitter’s plans

So the first season established that Krypton wasn’t going to explode for another 200 years, and therefore takes place around the 1800s Earth time. So wouldn’t Brainiac be raising Jor El in 1800s Russia? Welsh’s interview about season 3 details didn’t mention anything about the time period.
