Not content to simply tell a Superman origin story, Syfy’s Krypton will take things back two whole generations into Superman’s lineage. The new series focuses on past events set on the Man of Steel’s doomed planet and follows Superman’s grandfather Seg-El. A new promo video reveals the Krypton premiere date for 2018, and a new image gives a peek of the series to come.

Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer has helped develop Krypton, a new Syfy series that focuses on the early days of Superman’s home planet, and tells the story of Seg-El, grandfather to Kal-El (aka Superman). Why didn’t they call this show Superman’s Grandpa? Alas, we’ll have to settle for the Krypton title, as the show’s premiere date is close at hand.
Speaking of which, a new promo video uploaded to the show’s Twitter account has finally revealed the Krypton premiere date: March 21, 2018. In addition to the official premiere date, Syfy released a new photo for the show, seen above, which reveals Krypton will be a series cloaked in lots of shadows and full of leathery outfits.
