Overview
- Showrunner Chris Mundy says the HBO series unfolds across multiple time periods, portraying the leads at different stages of their lives while keeping their core consistent.
- Mundy confirms the show will not adapt a single Green Lantern comic arc, instead placing authentic versions of John Stewart and Hal Jordan in a new narrative.
- The premise follows new recruit John Stewart and veteran Hal Jordan investigating a dark, earth-based murder mystery in the American heartland with a grounded, buddy-cop tone.
- Mundy leads writing with Damon Lindelof and Tom King, with Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, and Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, and the series is slated for HBO in 2026.
- Mundy describes a thematic focus on replacement that has prompted outside speculation about Hal's future, which coverage labels unconfirmed, and a separate profile notes Aaron Pierre was previously dropped from Marvel's Blade after a creative shift.
