Don't think so. It's SyFy not CW.

Not a chance.

Ok thanks for the info

No, it isn't.



It does, but the visual end product will give us a clue to much they spent on CGI. I haven't read of any big name actors in any of the roles so the cast payroll may be lower than expected.

I haven't seen any promotional stuff released and that should give us some sort of clue to production value.

That sounds quite interesting. Hope they will put some effort into it, like they do with dark matter and not making it look cheap.

How often are prequel series successful?

Trailer looked really good. I just hope the writing is just as good.

obisgirl

I think the series' success definitely depends on the writing. The reactions to the pilot will be interesting.

CityGal

Thanks for the info.

'Krypton' isn't just a Superman prequel - it's got more DC characters than 'Justice League'
