Pinar Toprak is composing the music for the upcoming Syfy original series Krypton. The show is developed by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Da Vinci’s Demons) & Cameron Welsh and stars Cameron Cuffe, Georgina Campbell, Elliot Cowan, Ann Ogbomo, Aaron Pierre, Rasmus Hardiker, Wallis Day, Blake Ritson, Ian McElhinney and Shaun Sipos. The show based the DC characters centers on Seg-El, the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather, as a young man who is faced with a life and death conflict – save his home planet or let it be destroyed in order to restore the fate of his future grandson. Goyer and Welsh are also executive producing the Warner Horizon Television production. We previously heard that another composer was involved in scoring the pilot episode (before it was picked up to series), but it is unclear if his music will be used or if he’s still involved in the project in some capacity. Toprak whose film scoring credits include The Lightkeepers, The Wind Gods and The Challenger has previously provided additional music to DC’s Justice League scored by Danny Elfman. The first episode of Krypton will screen at the SXSW Film Festival next month and the show will premiere on March 21, 2018 on Syfy. Visit the official show website for updates.
