"Krypton" finally gets a green light from Syfy. The network confirms that they have ordered the Superman prequel to series. Created by "Man of Steel" scribe David S. Goyer, it explores the untold history of Kal-El's family and home planet long before he's born.

The superhero series is led by Cameron Cuffe. It follows Superman's grandfather Seg-El. The scion of the once prosperous El family is now living in Krypton's lowest caste after his family was stripped off its rank. He fights to bring back his family's glory.

Syfy is getting overhaul. Besides the sci-fi, they are now branching into young-adult fantasy, paranormal and superhero/comic book adaptation. "The Purge" series and "Nightflyers", an adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novella, are among the network's new programming.
