"The series follows new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland."
"With a remix of Bruce Springsteen's 'State Trooper' as its soundtrack, the first teaser trailer for HBO's Lanterns promises a grittier, more grounded look at the DC Comics universe than, say, James Gunn's Superman. But there are still super-powered rings and flying dudes to be found in the upcoming new series."
"The new trailer doesn't shy away from the classic DC iconography of the Corps - the suit, the ring, and even a literal lantern all appear in the new trailer. But the focus is on the friction between Hal Jordan and John Stewart as mentor and mentee."
HBO's upcoming Lanterns series offers a darker, more grounded take on DC Comics' Green Lantern universe. The show stars Kyle Chandler as veteran Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as rookie John Stewart, two intergalactic cops who become entangled in an earth-based murder mystery in the American heartland. The series emphasizes the mentor-mentee dynamic between the two protagonists while maintaining classic DC iconography including the iconic suit, ring, and lantern. Kelly Macdonald joins the cast as local law enforcement skeptical of outsiders. Created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, the series draws inspiration from True Detective's investigative tone and premieres August 2026 on HBO and HBO Max.
