It’s been confirmed overnight that 2019 will see the release of Krypton season one on DC Universe.
During one of the many DC Comics panels taking place at New York Comic Con it was announced that the series will arrive next year alongside several other new additions to the streaming service.
The classic Supergirl movie arrives today (October 5) in HD for fans to stream. 2019 will also see the release of new animated movies Reign of the Superman and Batman: Hush via the online platform.

Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, KRYPTON follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed. With Krypton’s leadership in disarray, Seg-El encounters Earthly time-traveler Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos) who warns he’s under the clock to save his beloved world from chaos. Fighting to redeem his family’s honor and protect the ones he loves, Seg is also faced with a life and death conflict – save his home planet or let it be destroyed in order to restore the fate of his future grandson.
KRYPTON is from Warner Horizon Scripted Television and is executive produced by David S. Goyer (“Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “The Dark Knight Trilogy”) through his Phantom Four banner, alongside Cameron Welsh, who serves as showrunner.

Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, KRYPTON premieres in 2018.
