In a little over a week, Syfy’s new series Krypton is getting its debut. In anticipation of that, the cast and creators are on hand in a new video featurette to explain a little more about the series, which focuses on Superman’s home planet, but a few generations before his arrival. Basically, Superman’s grandfather (although of course young and attractive here) is working to restore honor to the House of El as chaos reigns around him. The series really dives into the culture of the planet, filling out more of the world and the history that Superman was born into. It’s also worth noting that the series won’t be connected to the rest of the DC world officially, so it’s free to take the story wherever it wants.

David S. Goyer (Man of Steel) serves as an EP for the series, while Cameron Welsh (Ash vs Evil Dead) also executive produces and is the series’ showrunner. The series stars Cameron Cuffe, Georgina Campbell, Ian McElhinney, Elliot Cowan, and Ann Ogbomo.

Check out the Krypton trailer below, and keep an eye out for our upcoming review; the series premieres on Syfy on March 21st.

Here’s the official synopsis for Krypton:
