We're thrilled to share the first glimpse of DC Studios' latest venture, "Lanterns," an HBO Original Series that introduces us to not one, but two Green Lanterns. The series stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, and while they aren't yet seen in their iconic emerald green suits, eagle-eyed fans can spot a Power Ring on Chandler's hand, hinting at the superhero action to come.

"Lanterns" promises to be a groundbreaking detective drama, drawing inspiration from acclaimed series like "True Detective" and "Slow Horses." The show will follow Chandler's Hal Jordan and Pierre's John Stewart as they delve into a murder investigation that unravels into a much darker mystery. This series is set to be a pivotal part of James Gunn's expansive DC universe, which also encompasses "Creature Commandos" and the eagerly awaited films "Superman" and "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow."
The creative team behind "Lanterns" includes Damon Lindelof, renowned for his work on "Lost," alongside Chris Mundy and Tom King. James Gunn has described the series as having a "very grounded, very believable, very real" tone, which is a surprising departure from what one might expect from a Green Lanterns show.
Kyle Chandler, celebrated for his role in the drama "Friday Night Lights," brings his seasoned acting prowess to the role of an older Hal Jordan. Meanwhile, Aaron Pierre, who made an impact with his performance in "Rebel Ridge," steps into the shoes of John Stewart. Fans can mark their calendars for the series' targeted premiere in 2026, coinciding with the release of the "Supergirl" movie.
Stay tuned for more updates on "Lanterns" as production continues, and get ready to experience a new side of the Green Lanterns in this highly anticipated HBO series.
