HBO is sharing a first look at Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart in the DC Studios series “Lanterns,” which has begun production.
The drama, which was given a straight-to-series order in June and is based on the DC comic “Green Lantern,” follows the two intergalactic cops as they are drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery to investigate a murder in the American heartland.
Chris Mundy (“True Detective: Night Country,” “Ozark”) will be showrunner, and he’s set to co-write the series with fellow executive producers Damon Lindelof (“Watchmen,” “The Leftovers”) and Tom King (“Mister Miracle,” “Supergirl”).
James Hawes (“Slow Horses,” “Black Mirror,” “Snowpiercer”) will direct the first two episodes and serve as an EP. The series is produced in association with Warner Bros. Television.
A previous iteration of a “Green Lantern” TV series was in the works before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC. That version was created by Greg Berlanti and had Finn Wittrock lined up for a starring role.
A release date for “Lanterns” will be announced at a later date.
