Many of us were shocked at SyFy's decision to forgo the third season of KRYPTON but you'll be able to relive all the greatest moments of the second and final season on Blu-Ray this January. Hailed as the best Sci-Fi show on television during it's short, but impressive, run, KRYPTON features Seg-El (Superman's grandfather, played by Cameron Cuffe) as he joins Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos) on a quest to keep history on-course.

Season 2 introduces the space mercenary, Lobo (Emmett J. Scanlon), as our heroes deal with a multitude of threats including Brainiac, General Zod, and DOOMSDAY! If you didn't have the opportunity to watch this epic space drama during it's run, I highly suggest snatching up the Blu-Ray when it's available to dive into a history that's never been told before.

Here is the official press release:
