When Does the TV Show "Krypton" Season Two (2019) Take Place?
"Krypton" season two is a science fiction television show showran by Cameron Welsh [adapting mostly "The World of Krypton" #3??? v2 (1987) by John Byrne] that released June 12th, 2019. So when is "Krypton" season two set?
It takes place on an alternate timeline of the fictional DC Films Universe in the year:
We know this because the very first line of dialogue in season 2 episode 1 "Light Years From Home" is: "My fellow Kryptonians, 6 months ago we came together to face the dawn of a new era." This "dawn" presumably refers to the epilogue of season 1 episode 10 "The Phantom Zone" (2018), which takes place in an unclear year based on the birth of Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman. Furthermore, in the same episode, Val-El asks, "Where have you been the last 6 months?" of a character who left the planet Krypton in season 1 episode 8 "Savage Night".
1794 AD

Not knowing what month it is during season 1 does mean it could be early 1795 AD during season 2.
Superman’s birth year has been set in various years for various incarnations but the live-action films being made at the same time as this show make the most likely candidate for the series’ setting 1794 AD.
Other live-action takes on Superman would put this series in 1762 AD or 1803 AD.
From his birth year in the comic-book this series is adapting, this story would be in 1768 AD.
It is (by any calculations) the earliest chronological TV show in the DC Films timeline and can be watched at its timeline point.
