Lanterns is an upcoming American superhero television series created for the television network HBO. Based on DC Comics featuring the characters Hal Jordan and John Stewart, it is produced by DC Studios and intended to be the third television series and an installment of the DC Universe (DCU) franchise, sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise.

Greg Berlanti began developing a television series featuring the Green Lantern Corps for HBO Max in October 2019, with Seth Grahame-Smith initially serving as head writer before departing the project in October 2022. Upon the hiring of James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios in November 2022, the former stated that the Green Lantern Corps were important to the narrative of the wider shared universe the pair were co-developing. Lanterns was officially announced in January 2023, dissociated from Berlanti's iteration of the series.

Lanterns is set for release on HBO. It will be a part of the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

Cast and characters[edit]

Production[edit]

Background[edit]

In October 2019, producer Greg Berlanti was developing a Green Lantern series for HBO Max; Berlanti had previously been a screenwriter on the 2011 Green Lantern film.[3] A year later, it was announced that the series would consist of 10 episodes, with Seth Grahame-Smith and Marc Guggenheim writing the series, and Grahame-Smith serving as showrunner; Guggenheim had also been a screenwriter on the 2011 film.[4] By April 2021, Berlanti was revealed to also be a writer on the series.[5] The series was reaffirmed to still be in development in August 2022 amid Warner Bros. Discovery's cancellation of other HBO Max and DC projects.[6] The same month, Finn Wittrock was cast as Guy Gardner. Wittrock, who also stars in Ryan Murphy's Netflix series Ratched, received permission from Murphy to star in Green Lantern.[5] The following month, Jeremy Irvine was cast as Alan Scott.[7][8] Green Lantern was believed to be the most expensive series ever produced by Berlanti.[5] Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter, David Madden, and David Katzenberg also executive produce.[5] The original story was expected to span several decades, with a storyline focusing on the Green Lanterns of Earth, and another set in space focusing on Sinestro's story.[9]

Filming was expected to begin in late 2021 or early 2022,[10] though Irvine indicated in early June 2022 that there was no set starting date for filming, adding the production was working on "getting all the stars to align" given it was "very large" in scale.[11] Lee Toland Krieger was attached to direct the first two episodes of the series.[12] In October 2022, it was announced that Grahame-Smith had departed from the series and the show be redeveloped and shift focus to John Stewart.[2]

Development[edit]

In November 2022, James Gunn was hired alongside Peter Safran as a co-chairman and CEO of the newly restructured DC Studios, tasked with overseeing the development of a new slate of films and television series that would launch a new shared universe franchise centered on DC Comics characters. Gunn asserted the following month that the Green Lantern Corps were an "important" component to the wider DC Universe (DCU) film and television slate the pair were co-developing, but ruled out the potential return of actor Ryan Reynolds as the Hal Jordan version of the character, which he previously played in the film Green Lantern (2011), a prospect he claimed was "not a priority for me and even much less of one for [Ryan Reynolds]".[13][14]

Lanterns was officially announced in January 2023 as a television series in development for the network HBO that would principally focus on both the Hal Jordan and John Stewart iterations of Green Lantern. He described the series as a terrestrial-based story "that is almost True Detective with a couple of Green Lanterns", and insinuated the plot would revolve around a mystery the pair discover while monitoring Earth.[15] The same day as the announcement, Warner Bros. and DC jointly announced that Greg Berlanti's series was no longer moving forward, and that Berlanti himself had parted ways with the studio.[16]

Release[edit]

Lanterns is set for release on HBO.[17] It will be part of the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
