Lanterns is moving forward. First announced in January 2023, the new Green Lantern series has added new faces to its creative team. Per THR, Co-chairman and Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn revealed the addition of Damon Lindelof (Watchmen), Chris Mundy (Ozark), and Tom King to the show’s creative team.

Lanterns will bring the story of the Green Lanterns to the small screen. The story will revolve around Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two human officers of the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps, as they investigate a mystery on Earth. In the comics, the Corps is an interstellar law enforcement agency overseen by the Guardians of the Universe. The members of the Corps wear power rings that are directed by the wearer’s willpower.

It was previously revealed that the actors who play the lead characters in the series will also appear on the big screen in the new DC Universe movies.

Gunn said the following about the Max series on his Instagram account:

“Yes, it’s true. The Lanterns DCU series is putting together a crack team of writers, based on a wonderful pilot script and bible by Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof. A hearty welcome to Chris and @damonlindelof as they join the DC Studios family (no welcome necessary for old @tomking_tk, who has been here nearly since inception).”

More details and the premiere date for Lanterns will be announced later.
