Despite only debuting in last night’s episode of Krypton it seems Emmett J. Scanlan’s Lobo has had a huge impact on network executives.
Overnight THR has reported that network SYFY has begun developing a spin-off series to star the character.
Very little is known at this stage although Krypton‘s lead actor, Cameron Cuffe, appeared to confirm the news in a tweet. The actor stated that Krypton was designed as a gateway to the cosmic worlds of DC and now it seems it’s time to expand on them!
Our show was devised as the gateway into the @DCComics cosmic universe. There are so many more stories we want to tell. #Krypton https://t.co/s0CrfgRKPB

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. In addition to Cameron Cuffe and Sipos, the show also stars Georgina Campbell (“Broadchurch”), Elliot Cowan (“Da Vinci’s Demons”), Ann Ogbomo (“World War Z”), Rasmus Hardiker (“Your Highness”), Wallis Day (“Will”), Aaron Pierre (“Tennison”) and Ian McElhinney (“Game of Thrones”). Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
