Krypton (2018)

Syfy’s short-lived Krypton TV show tells the story of Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe). The show included many iconic DC villains, such as Brainiac, General Zod, and Lobo, along with other characters from the comics. Despite the series receiving generally positive reviews, Krypton was canceled after just two seasons due to a massive drop in viewers between season 1 and season 2.
