Lanterns (HBO)
HBO's 'Lanterns' is the most anticipated DCU relaunch show of summer 2026, starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart in a grounded detective mystery.
The context
The buzz around ‘Lanterns’ has exploded after HBO released a teaser and official synopsis confirming the show’s summer 2026 window. As a cornerstone of James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe, it promises a noir-infused, Earth-bound investigation that sets it apart from previous Green Lantern adaptations. The casting of Kyle Chandler (Hal Jordan) and Aaron Pierre (John Stewart) has excited fans, and speculation about other Lanterns — including Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner — is driving conversation. The show’s detective-story approach and cosmic scope make it a key pillar of DC’s new direction.
