The Big Picture In a recent social media post on Threads, James Gunn excitedly confirmed the formation of a stellar writing team for the highly anticipated Lanterns DCU series. Gunn revealed that the show, which will feature iconic Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart, is building upon a strong foundation laid by a pilot script and series bible from renowned writers Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof.
What Will 'Lanterns' Be About? Back in January 2023, the Lanterns series was officially announced by Peter Safran during a DCU press event. Safran confirmed that the series will be headlined by "two of our favorite Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and John Stewart" and will premiere on HBO Max alongside the rest of their television slate. Safran described the series as a "True Detective-type mystery" centered around the two Lanterns tackling a terrestrial-based enigma.
The interconnected nature of the DCU was also emphasized. Safran highlighted how Lanterns will weave seamlessly with other DC films and series, much like Peacemaker. "The story is going to weave back and forth between the films and the television shows," Safran explained. "Just, you know, Peacemaker is a good example of how that works. And that's what we're going to do with this big overarching story that we're telling.
