David S. Goyer is executive producing the drama via his Phantom Four banner. Sleepy Hollow's Damian Kindler is executive producing and serving as showrunner. Colm McCarthy will direct.

Cuffe joins a cast that also includes British actress Georgina Campbell, who will play Lyta Zod, a member of Krypton's military caste and the daughter of a general, Alura Zod. Lyta Zod serves as a cadet - and has also been having a clandestine, forbidden romance with Seg-El (Cuffe).
