Deadline is reporting that British actress and BAFTA winner Georgina Campbell (After Hours) has been cast as the female lead in Syfy’s Krypton pilot.
Here’s how they describe her character:
Campbell’s 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 (not cast yet).
Krypton tells the tale of Superman’s grandfather Seg-El two generations before the destruction of the planet. In it, the House of El is ostracized and shamed, as Seg-El fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos. Right now, a pilot is happening for hopeful inclusion on Syfy’s lineup.
