But Krypton’s ratings took a hit in Season 2, down about 50% in Live+Same Day. As was the case with Expanse, for series that come from outside studios, Syfy has to rely solely on linear ratings to monetize a series, which is difficult for expensive shows like Krypton and Expanse, which command high license fees but whose viewers tend to watch content on digital platforms. For instance, Syfy only has streaming rights to the five most recent episodes of Krypton.
