Premiering on HBO and Max, the DC show connects to James Gunn’s 2025 Superman movie with a Hal Jordan and John Stewart adventure.
HBO and DC Entertainment’s Green Lantern show has been draining its battery in development limbo since 2019, but on Tuesday, both companies made it official (again): Lanterns, a new iteration of the project, is headed to the cable network and Max streaming service.
Forget what you knew about the proposed big-budget Green Lantern show, which would be very little, because since 2019 there’s been next to nothing spoken about it. Now called Lanterns, the series “follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.” Earth-based? I guess it’s true, Mogo doesn’t socialize.
The new series comes from a crack team of TV pros: Chris Mundy (True Detective: Night Country) is set as showrunner and executive producer.
