Described as a detective drama reminiscent of "True Detective" and "Slow Horses," "Lanterns" will follow Jordan and Stewart as they investigate a murder that spirals into a far-reaching conspiracy. The series is officially part of James Gunn's expanded DC universe, alongside projects like "Creature Commando" and the upcoming films "Superman" and "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow."

Developed by Damon Lindelof (known for "Lost"), alongside Chris Mundy and Tom King, "Lanterns" promises a darker, more grounded tone. Gunn himself describes it as "very grounded, very believable, very real… the kind of things that you would never think that would be the truth about a Green Lanterns television series."

Chandler, renowned for his role in "Friday Night Lights," portrays an older Hal Jordan, while Aaron Pierre, whose credits include "Rebel Ridge," joins the cast. The series is aiming for a 2026 premiere, coinciding with the release of the "Supergirl" movie.
