Kneel before Zod (not that one). Deadline reveals that Georgina Campbell - who received rave reviews for starring in BBC drama Murdered by My Boyfriend and will next be seen in Broadchurch and Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - has landed the role of newly created character Lyta Zod in Syfy's Krypton. The prequel TV series is being developed by Man of Steel scribe David S. Goyer.
Krypton is set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel's home planet. It follows Superman’s grandfather Seg-El - whose House of El was ostracized and shamed - as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos. It's not clear whether or not the show will have any ties to the DC Films Universe of The CW's Supergirl, but it seems highly unlikely.
The trade adds that, "Lyta Zod is a member of Krypton’s military caste and the daughter of a general — that would be Superman’s future nemesis, General Zod, Lyta Zod serves as a cadet — and has also been having a clandestine, forbidden romance with Seg-El."
