Well, this is disappointing.
Krypton may have been met with ridicule when it was first announced, but the series that delves into Superman's family tree has proven itself one of DC's better small screen adaptations. Unfortunately, the second season looks set to be its last as Syfy will not be moving forward with a third batch of episodes.
This also means that the network isn't going to be developing the spinoff revolving around
Lobo.
According to
Deadline, Warner Horizon Scripted Television is in talks with other outlets in a bid to keep
Krypton going so we could see it live on elsewhere. Both DC Universe and HBO Max are possibilities, but time will tell on that front.
So, what led to Syfy deciding to scrap the series? Well, while it was the network's most-watched new TV show since 2014 when it premiered in 2018, ratings dipped around 50% by the time it returned this year and as Syfy relies on linear ratings to monetise a series that comes from outside studios, it simply wasn't worth keeping it around.
Are you guys disappointed that
Krypton has reached its end? (for now, at least)
