HBO Greenlights 'Lanterns' Series Featuring Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart

The eight-episode series will explore a dark, earth-based mystery and marks the first live-action show in the new DC Universe.

Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King will helm the series as executive producers and writers.
The show is described as a detective story with a tone similar to 'True Detective.'
It replaces a previously planned Green Lantern series by Greg Berlanti.
'Lanterns' will be part of a broader shift to label major Warner Bros. IP projects as HBO originals.
The series will tie into the larger narrative of the unified DCU launching next summer with a new Superman film.
