Superman Is Getting A Syfy Show, Get The Details — cinemablend.com

Taking place years before the Kal-El (Superman’s Kryptonian name) was born, the series will focus on the House of El, specifically Superman’s grandfather as he tries to “bring hope and equality to Krypton.” According to THR, David S. Goyer, who is diving back into Superman lore after penning Man of Steel, will produce the series. Once Upon A Time scribe Ian Goldberg will write the pilot and will serve as an executive producer alongside Goyer. Krypton was rumored to be in development back in October, but no other details were listed. Of course, this won’t be the first Superman prequel series to have aired on television. Smallville, which aired from 2001-2011, followed Clark Kent before he put on the cape, although that series was more of a reimagining of the Superman mythos rather than a direct prequel.
