SYFY Developing A Lobo Spin-Off Series

The Main Man aka Lobo is ready to make his on-screen debut in the second season of SYFY’s Superman prequel series Krypton, which debuts tonight. The series takes place around 200 years before the Man of Steel existed and it centers on his grandfather and his quest to save Krypton from destruction. In the first season, we saw classic Superman villains like Brainiac and Doomsday.

While we wait to get our first look at Lobo who is played by Emmett J. Scanlan, SYFY has announced via TheWrap that it is developing a spinoff series that will follow the intergalactic bounty hunter. According to the report, Scanlan will continue to play Lobo if the spinoff project gets ordered to series. It’s current working title is Lobo and will be produced by Warner Horizon Scripted Television. Cameron Welsh, who is the executive producer on Krypton will serve in the same role for Lobo as well as a writer.

The fan-favorite villain turned anti-hero first appeared in DC Comics in The Omega Men #3 in June of 1983. He was created by Keith Giffen and Rodger Slifer. He as appeared in many story arcs as well as his own title. Not to mention several appearances in animated forms including video games. Hopefully, he has a good small screen live-action debut!

SYFY’s Krypton follows Seg-El, Superman’s grandfather, played by Cameron Cuffe, as he fights to save his planet from destruction. Season 2 takes us back to Kandor, which is battling for its freedom and future, especially now with General Dru-Zod, played by Colin Salmon, in control. He looks to rebuild Krypton according to his ideals, which includes conquering the universe. Seg-El and a group of resisters are looking to take down Zod and bring back hope to their planet. But like in any battle, there are differences in tactics, changing alliances and conflicting moral boundaries that can threaten their cause.
