DC Studios' Lanterns: Unveiling the Green Light Mystery on HBO Max
DC Studios is gearing up for the release of its upcoming series, Lanterns, which is set to premiere on HBO Max on August 16, 2026. This highly anticipated project is part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters and features a star-studded cast. Lanterns will consist of eight episodes and follows the story of Green Lantern veterans Hal Jordan and new recruit John Stewart, played by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, as they investigate a murder in Nebraska. The series will showcase the duo's abilities to create green light constructs using their power rings as they unravel a dangerous mystery in a small town.
The trailer for Lanterns offers a glimpse into the partnership between Hal and John, as well as the challenges they will face during their investigation. The series also introduces key characters such as Kerry, played by Kelly Macdonald, Guy Gardner portrayed by Nathan Fillion, Zoe played by Poorna Jagannathan, and William Macon portrayed by Garret Dillahunt. Lanterns is a production of DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television, adding to the studio's growing DCU lineup.
In addition to Lanterns, DC Studios is also preparing for the theatrical release of Clayface, which is scheduled to hit theaters on October 23, 2026. Originally slated for a September 11 release, Clayface's debut has been pushed back to allow Lanterns to premiere first. Fans can look forward to an exciting lineup of DCU content from DC Studios, with Lanterns leading the charge on HBO Max next month.
