Excellent news for fans of new SyFy series Krypton. Ahead of tonights season finale the network has announced that the series has been picked up for a second season!
That second season will air sometime during 2019.
During its debut season Krypton averaged 1.8 million total viewers in live-plus three ratings, giving Syfy its most-watched debut for an original series since 2014, and its most-watched season for any scripted series since Defiance in 2015.
