Overview
- The series follows John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) as intergalactic cops probing a dark, Earth-based murder in the American heartland.
- Mundy describes the show as as much a buddy-cop drama as a superhero tale, emphasizing a 'replacement' theme and Stewart’s quiet authority.
- The story unfolds across multiple time periods, with characters kept true to their core identities while avoiding a direct adaptation of any single comic arc.
- Ulrich Thomsen plays Sinestro, with Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Nathan Fillion and others in the ensemble.
- HBO plans to release Lanterns in 2026, and reporting notes speculation about Hal eventually stepping aside, which has not been confirmed.
