Syfy has released a new preview, celebrating the upcoming episodes of Krypton‘s first season.

The preview highlights some of the season’s biggest threads (almost quite literally), with Seg (Cameron Cuffe) being tasked with saving the fate of his future grandson, Superman. In the process, the series is set to give fans a completely different take on a hero’s journey.

“It’s much more grounded and personal stakes — it’s way more character-driven.” Cuffe told reporters during a recent set visit. “There is no freak of the week….No one sees there parents get murdered and thinks, ‘I must become the symbol of the night.’ It’s not that at all. It’s people who are thrown into a situation that is deeply over their head, and like all great science fiction, it’s not about the aliens or the monsters or the robots or the technology. It’s always about the people. And I think we get a really strong focus on that.”
