LANTERNS: HBO Releases First Look at New Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler-Led Drama

Production has started on the new HBO drama, LANTERNS. The series is based on the DC title “Green Lantern.”

According to HBO, “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.” The series stars Aaron Pierre, Kyle Chandler, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, and Ulrich Thomsen.

“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,” showrunner Chris Mundy said in a statement. “The goal is to create something that feels timeless and grounded without sacrificing the magic of the source material.”

The LANTERNS pilot is co-written by Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King. The first two episodes are directed by James Hawes, with Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel and Alik Sakharov also set to direct season 1 episodes. Executive producers include Mundy, Lindelof, James Gunn, Peter Safran, King, Ron Schmidt, and Hawes.
