Lanterns is on the way as an upcoming project in the DC Universe!
James Gunn first announced the HBO series almost three years ago when he unveiled the first set of projects for the DCU after he took the reigns of DC Studios with Peter Safran.
Lanterns will be a “big premiere HBO television series,” according to James, which will tell the “story of a couple of Green Lanterns, Jon Stewart and Hal Jordan, and we have a few other lanterns peppered in there, but this is really a terrestrial based TV show.”
It will be “almost like True Detective, with a couple of Green Lanterns who are space cops watching over Precinct Earth. In it, they discover a terrifying mystery that ties into our largest story of the DCU.”
The official logline reads, “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.”
Filming took place earlier this year at the iconic Warner Bros Studio in Burbank, and the show will reportedly be airing on HBO starting in early 2026. Check out the first photo here!
So far, eight actors have been confirmed to be cast in the series, including a DCU actor who has already appeared in two other projects, plus another actor who revealed they turned it down!
