In brightest day, in blackest night! Here’s your first look at Lanterns, the upcoming HBO television series based on the DC title “Green Lantern” featuring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart.
The first image of our two superheroes walking side by side has been released, as the production for the season has just begun in Burbank. Lanterns will follow 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. DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran has described the series as being “very much in the vein of True Detective.”
Chris Mundy, who is the executive producer and showrunner for “Lanterns” (also known for “True Detective: Night Country” and “Ozark”), stated, “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 goal is to create something that feels timeless and grounded without sacrificing the magic of the source material.”
