Krypton is an American science fiction television series developed by David S. Goyer for Syfy.

[2] In October 2014, David S. Goyer was developing a prequel television series titled Krypton.

[5] Strange was intended by the show's creators to be an LGBTQ+ character, but this was only implied following alleged interference from former DC executive Geoff Johns.

Regé-Jean Page auditioned for the role but was not cast because Johns reportedly believed the character had to resemble Superman actor Henry Cavill due to initial fan perception that the show could serve as a possible prequel to the 2013 film Man of Steel.

[41] Alongside Cameron Cuffe, other actors Ian McElhinney, Elliot Cowan, Ann Ogbomo, Rasmus Hardiker, Wallis Day, and Aaron Pierre were cast as Val-El, Daron-Vex, Jayna-Zod, Kem, Nyssa-Vex, and Dev-Em.

[51] The first season holds a score of 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 42 reviews, with an average rating of 6.26/10.

Rotten Tomatoes's critical consensus reads: "Krypton's eccentricity declines into silliness with a dull narrative that fails to fulfill a promising premise".

Its critical consensus reads: "Fresh faces, exceptional performances, and a more clearly defined sense of purpose help Krypton find its footing".
