Key details:

• ‘Lanterns’ consists of a total of eight episodes.
• The show features John Stewart and Hal Jordan investigating a murder in the American heartland.
• The original trailer was removed due to an expired music license.

Co-written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, ‘Lanterns’ aims to deliver a layered superhero drama. Chris Mundy emphasized the goal: “From the start, our driving force has been to deliver a layered drama – rooted in nuanced storytelling and rich world building – that balances tension and mystery with honest, authentic emotion.”

The first two episodes are directed by James Hawes. Notably, Nathan Fillion reprises his role as Guy Gardner in this new series.

James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, expressed excitement about the project: “Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light. #Lanterns premieres August 16 on @hbomax.” This enthusiasm reflects a broader restructuring within DC Studios after years of development on various Green Lantern projects.

The finale date for ‘Lanterns’ is expected to be around April 30, 2026, marking an important milestone for fans of the franchise.
