James Gunn has finally shared new details about the upcoming Green Lantern series, simply called Lanterns. In an interview on CBS Mornings, Gunn made it clear that this new DC show will mostly focus on John Stewart.

While fans will still see Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner in action, Gunn explained that the main story will center around Stewart’s journey. “It’s basically, you know, John Stewart’s story in a lot of ways. But it’s with those other characters,” Gunn said when talking about the future of the Dcu.

The show is based on the famous DC Comics heroes, Green Lanterns, and is being made by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television. It will follow both John Stewart and Hal Jordan as they work together to solve a murder on Earth.

This case will pull them into bigger mysteries that connect to the wider DC Universe. According to Warner Bros.,...

James Gunn has confirmed that the upcoming Lanterns TV series is mainly John Stewart’s story. Speaking during an interview on CBS Mornings, Gunn gave fans a clearer idea of what to expect from the new DC Universe shows.

He explained that all three well-known Green Lanterns – John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Hal Jordan – will appear, but the story will mostly follow Stewart. Gunn said, “Then we go to Supergirl, and Lanterns, you know, next summer. It’s basically you know John Stewart’s story in a lot of ways. But it’s with those other characters.”

‘Lanterns’ is being produced by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television. According to official details, this will be the third TV show in the new DC Universe.

It will follow Hal Jordan and John Stewart as they investigate a murder on Earth. The mystery will reportedly pull them into even darker secrets.

James Gunn’s plate is packed, but his next major move after Superman and Peacemaker Season 2 is already locked and loaded. The much-anticipated HBO series Lanterns, centered on DC’s iconic Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart, has officially wrapped production (via DC Film News). Yep, it’s real, and it’s coming in early 2026.

Developed under Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Studios regime, Lanterns is being touted as a gritty, True Detective-style crime drama set within the DC Universe. The murder mystery format isn’t just for flair – in fact, it’s central to the Dcu’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate and may even set up future events across the universe.

Helmed by Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy and backed by storytelling giants Tom King and Damon Lindelof, Lanterns is shaping up to be more than just a superhero show.

HBO's long-awaited Green Lantern series is currently in production, and it seems filming is moving forward smoothly without any major hiccups. Lanterns, which stars Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler, is the first live-action series set in James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe, which debuts on the big screen this summer with Superman. The True Detective-inspired show follows two Green Lanterns investigating a murder mystery in America's heartland, which could have major repercussions for the rest of the Dcu.

During an interview with Forbes, Jason Ritter, who plays Billy Macon in Lanterns, revealed the current production status for the upcoming HBO series. He confirmed that Lanterns was halfway through filming its first season, with four episodes completed thus far. Additionally, he reveals that it is a "really well-written, really fun show," the latter of which is in contrast to how the grounded sci-fi drama has been described thus far. Ritter's...

HBO's Lanterns series is still ever-expanding after recently adding Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner into the fold. Per Deadline, Lawman: Bass Reeves star Chris Coy is now the latest addition to the upcoming Green Lantern drama series in a guest-starring role. He's set to embody a mysterious new character by the name of Waylon Sanders, described as "an intelligent survivor or a nervous truck driver." If that wasn't confusing enough, his real name and age remain an enigma, and he's said to be "unbound by the laws of nature." It's unclear what role he'll play and whether he'll be a friend or a foe to Lantern recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler).

Coy boards a group that has grown significantly in recent weeks, with Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson, and Jason Ritter among those on board thus far.

HBO’s upcoming DC series “Lanterns” has added Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, one of multiple Green Lanterns in the cast.

This will be far from Fillion’s first time playing a Lantern. He debuted as one of DC’s green heroes in the 2011 animated film “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.” In it, he was the voice actor for Hal Jordan, one of many members of the Green Lantern Corps. He played the role again in 2012’s “Justice League: Doom,” 2013’s “Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox,” 2015’s “Justice League: Throne of Atlantis,” 2018’s “The Death of Superman” and 2019’s “Reign of the Supermen.” Each of the animated films was a straight-to-dvd release.

In 2023, he was cast as a Green Lantern in James Gunn’s live-action film “Superman,” but as Gardner instead of Jordan. The film opens in theaters via Warner Bros. this July.

“Lanterns” stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart.

Nathan Fillion has joined Lanterns, HBO’s upcoming drama series based on the Green Lantern DC comic. Deadline has been tracking his casting as Guy Gardner since October.

Fillion first voiced the Green Lantern character Hal Jordan in Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011) and again a year later in Justice League: Doom, followed by Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox in 2013, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis two years later, The Death of Superman in 2018 and Reign of the Supermen in 2019. He will bring Guy Gardner to life in James Gunn’s feature film Superman, which hits theaters this summer.

HBO’s Lanterns is adding to its cast again, signing Jason Ritter for a recurring role.

Billy’s father, William Macon, is being played by Garret Dillahunt. William is a self-righteous and conspiracy-minded and ruthlessly ambitious man who hides his darker side behind a charming facade.

James Gunn is preparing to launch his new DC Cinematic Universe, with Superman kicking things off in July. Sometime after that, we're get a show about the intergalactic police corps the Green Lanterns. The title of the show? Lanterns. It's about superheroes, not lighting.

Although word is that the show will be less about green-lad aliens flying through the air and more of a grounded drama where the two main characters just happen to have powers. Comparisons to True Detective, another HBO show, have been made. “From the start, our driving force has been to deliver a layered drama – rooted in nuanced storytelling and rich world building – that balances tension and mystery with honest, authentic emotion," showrunner Chris Mundy said in a statement. "The goal is to create something that feels timeless and grounded without sacrificing the magic of the source material.”

Lanterns will center around a pair of famous...

HBO announced production’s gotten underway on Lanterns, based on the popular DC Comics property Green Lantern. Filming is taking place on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank.

“The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland,” reads HBO’s synopsis. Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) stars as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler (Godzilla vs. Kong) plays Hal Jordan.

The comic book-inspired series also stars Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, and Ulrich Thomsen. Chris Mundy serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer.

“From the start, our driving force has been to deliver a layered drama – rooted in nuanced storytelling and rich world building – that balances tension and mystery with honest, authentic emotion,” said Mundy.

HBO’s Lanterns has started production and released a first look at its two stars in character — though not in Green Lantern Corps regalia.

The first photo of stars Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler shows the two in regular clothing walking down an empty road. That’s in keeping with the description of the show, based on the long-running DC Comics characters, as following “new recruit John Stewart (Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.” The show, from creators Chris Mundy, Tom King and Damon Lindelof, has also been described as having a True Detective vibe.

There is one hint in the first photo that Pierre and Chandler are part of a superhero story — the Green Lantern Corps ring on Hal Jordan’s finger.

Severance has become one of the most critically acclaimed series of the 2020s, and fans adore its mixture of complex themes. The story involves Mark Scout, an employee of a fictional tech company called Lumon. Along with his other co-workers, he agrees to go through a procedure that separates his work-life memories and his personal memories. But when Scout discovers a mysterious employee outside of his workplace, he begins to question everything about his job.

Although this show has managed to win a wide selection of prestigious awards, it only has two seasons. Thus, fans are trying to savor every episode until the third season is inevitably announced. As such, a lot of audiences are seeking out a few new shows that handle the same sort of themes as Severance.

A Man Struggles to Get Back to His Ordinary Life Dark Matter

Dark Matter introduces fans to Jason Dessen, a physicist living in Chicago.

Though he’s made films for theatrical release and the occasional series for a different network or streamer, prolific documentarian Alex Gibney and the HBO nonfiction brand have become borderline synonymous over the past decade. It was almost inevitable that Gibney would, at some point, take the serpent’s tail into his mouth and make a documentary about HBO.

Gibney’s first stab at HBOuroboros is Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos, a documentary that is, per its title, completely self-explanatory. Simultaneously tracing the life of David Chase and the run of his game-changing mob dramedy, the two-parter is a must-watch for fans of The Sopranos — even television critics for whom many of its juiciest details are already established lore.

Especially in its 85-minute second part, which has to cover most of the Sopranos’ stretch after its first season, Wise Guys isn’t always as “definitive” as it wants to be,...

“The Sopranos” was an undeniable game changer for television, but decoding the genius behind the iconic show requires exploring the many sides of its creator, David Chase. Wise Guy lifts the veil on the multifaceted mind that brought Tony and his crew to our screens.

We learn Chase first fathomed “The Sopranos” as a big screen project starring Hollywood heavyweights like Robert De Niro. After television networks passed, it was the edgy upstart HBO who saw its subversive potential. There Chase had the freedom to peel back society’s layers and question what draws us to deeply flawed characters.

That complexity traces back to Chase’s own past. The son of an Italian-American family, he displayed a rebellious streak from his student films onward. Yet frustrations with standard television also pushed him to craft a drama reflective of real human nature in all its moral messiness. Interviewed in Melfi’s office,...

Plot: The series will follow Jason Dessen, a physicist, professor, and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.

Review: Earlier this year, AppleTV+ debuted a series about alternate realities and dueling versions of characters in Constellation. That series carried a heavy science fiction focus that showed how parallel universes can carry paranoid variations on the lives of characters shifting between worlds. Dark Matter mines similar territory but in a far more grounded manner. Using the conceits of the thriller genre, Dark Matter adapts...

Invasion season 2 continues the story of an alien invasion, focusing on the perspectives of the humans fighting to survive and protect their loved ones. The alien's confusion about their conflict with humanity raises intriguing questions about the true nature of the invasion. The slow burn approach of the series keeps the mysteries surrounding the aliens unsolved, leaving viewers eager to discover more in upcoming episodes.

Screen Rant is excited to share an exclusive clip from the AppleTV+ sci-fi drama Invasion. The first season begins with strange, inexplicable events that leave the world scared and confused. However, when it is revealed that an alien invasion is imminent, things become even more complicated.

Invasion season 2 picks up months after the first, with aliens having invaded and taken control of the planet. The series follows multiple perspectives throughout the alien invasion, focusing not on the alien threat but on the people who are living through it.

Invasion season 2 expands on the show's characters and extraterrestrial lifeforms, making the two-year wait worthwhile. Director Alik Sakharov discusses his involvement in season 2 and the challenges of working during the Covid-19 pandemic. Season 2 of Invasion is filled with energetic action and interesting storylines, promising an exciting and suspenseful viewing experience.

Apple TV+'s sci-fi series Invasion was a big hit for the platform in its first season, and the show is continuing its story in season 2. Invasion's second season expands the scope of the show's characters and extraterrestrial lifeforms greatly, making the nearly two-year wait between seasons well worth it.

In Invasion, mankind finds itself beset with invading aliens, with the show taking the perspective of human characters in all corners of the Earth. Invasion also takes the perspective of the director of each episode, including Alik Sakharov, who directs several episodes of the Simon Kinberg and David Weil-created series.

The high-stakes Apple TV+ original series Invasion returns for its second season this August, with Earth on the defensive from the events of the extraterrestrial conquest from the first season. As different characters around the globe do their best to evade the aliens and survive, a hearty group of resistance fighters set out to learn more about their otherworldly foes and retake their planet. However, with so much of civilization devastated by the aliens' opening salvo, families must scramble to stick together and avoid being caught in the crossfire as the battle for Earth takes new twists and turns this season.

In an exclusive interview with Cbr, Invasion director Alik Sakharov explained how he approached the escalation in Season 2, revealed what stood out the most from series co-creator Simon Kinberg's scripts, and praised the cast for continuing to bring such an intense and emotional show to life for its second season.

Season two of Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed sci-fi drama Invasion kicks off on August 23, 2023 with an episode that finds humans doing whatever’s necessary to fight the alien invaders. In this new clip from episode one, it’s revealed that aliens can be killed with fire.

The new images for Invasion's sophomore season depict the destruction wrought by the escalating extraterrestrial threat as humans struggle to adapt and survive. While the first season of Invasion featured its characters witnessing disruptions that increased as the series progressed, the second season is going bigger in scale, as seen from the images and confirmed by the show's creators.

Poster for Apple TV+’s ‘Invasion’ season 2

Apple TV+ has set a Wednesday, August 23, 2023 premiere date for the launch of season two of the critically acclaimed sci-fi series Invasion. The season two date announcement included the first batch of photos from the upcoming 10-episode season.

Created by Oscar nominee Simon Kinberg (The Martian) and David Weil (Citadel), Invasion debuted on October 22, 2021 and wrapped up its 10-episode first season in December 2021. The season two renewal was confirmed just days before the season one finale.

“I couldn’t be more excited about the return of Invasion on Apple TV+,” stated Kinberg. “It’s a bigger, more intense season that drops our viewers into a wide-scale, global battle from the start. At its core, the show is about the power of the human spirit and the emotional connections that hold us together especially when facing incredible obstacles.”

Returning season one stars include Golshifteh Farahani,...

There are a whopping 237 submissions for Best Drama Directing on the 2022 Emmys ballot, which will yield seven nominees. As a reminder, last year’s winner was “The Crown” (“War” by Jessica Hobbs) and the other nominees were “Bridgerton” (“Diamond of the First Water” by Julie Anne Robinson), “The Crown” (“Fairytale” by Benjamin Caron), “The Handmaid’s Tale” (“The Wilderness” by Liz Garbus), “The Mandalorian” (“Chapter 9: The Jedi” by Jon Favreau) and “Pose” (“Series Finale” by Steven Canals).

The only eligible returnee out of this bunch is “Bridgerton,” which entered three episodes of its second season for consideration. It may have a harder time getting back in as “Ozark” and “Succession” will be back to reclaim their crowns, having prevailed in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Winner Jason Bateman is back on the ballot for the “Ozark” series finale, after being absent for the third season, and joining him will be his co-star Laura Linney for her directorial debut,...

While Laura Linney could finally nab her first Emmy for playing Wendy Byrde on “Ozark,” there is another way she can be rewarded for the Netflix drama this year: as the director of the fourth and final season’s 11th episode, “Pound of Flesh and Still Kickin’.” If submitted for this effort, her directorial debut, Linney could pull off a victory in a similar fashion to her co-star and onscreen hubby Jason Bateman, who still hasn’t earned an acting Emmy for the show but won directing when no one expected it in 2019.

Bateman was all the way down in sixth place in our odds when he won for the Season 2 opener, “Reparations.” But in retrospect, we shouldn’t have underestimated the eventual champ, who had built a ton of goodwill as one of the show’s stars, executive producers and main directors. By that point, he had directed six...

Exclusive: UTA partner and veteran TV lit agent Leslie Maskin is leaving the agency after 27 years to transition to management. She is joining Circle of Confusion where she will start at the top of the new year.

Maskin is among the longest-tenured agents at UTA, which she joined in 1993, two years after its launch. She built the company’s formidable television director department — now a part of the larger TV literary department — representing such clients as Alan Taylor, Daniel Minahan, Clark Johnson, Alik Sakharov and Maria Schrader (Unorthodox). Additionally, Maskin represents the Oscar and Emmy-winning producer Mark Johnson, the multi-Emmy award winning producer Gregg Fienberg and a number of TV writers/showrunners.

“Over the past 27 years, Leslie has played an impactful role in our television group, specifically helping build our TV...

Last night, the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards were held, obviously under much different circumstances than normal. Conducted virtually, it was a sign of the Covid-19 times, but more or less went off without a hitch. Plus, as a general rule, people seem rather pleased with the winners. There was Schitt’s Creek pulling a sweep and becoming the first ever series to win every major comedy award in a year, including of course Best Comedy Series. There was Succession taking Best Drama Series, while Watchmen expectedly dominated the Best Limited Series field. Plus, there were even surprises, like Zendaya pulling an upset win for Best Actress in a Drama Series (for Euphoria). Overall, it seemed like a night of celebrations, which we’ve definitely needed in a big way… Here are all of your Emmy winners for 2020: Drama Series “Better Call Saul” (AMC) “The Crown” (Netflix) “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu...

Below, you can take a look at a sampling of the praise and pointed criticism that was leveled at this year’s results in the seven categories devoted to drama series. Read more and have your say here.

William Gillquist: I can go to sleep tonight a happy man.

Are you beloved CBC comedy Schitt’s Creek? Well then congrats, my friend, because you just had a hell of a night at the 2020 Emmy Awards!

Domination was the name of the game for the 72nd annual Emmy Awards, with only a handful of shows claiming the lion’s share of trophies in their respective genres. But among those dominant performers, no series was more overpowering than Schitt’s Creek in its final season. The Eugene and Dan Levy-created series went an astonishing seven-for-seven, winning in every category it was nominated in (becoming the first show ever to do so). This included all four acting categories, one writing category, one directing category, and the big one: Outstanding Comedy Series.

Following Schitt’s Creek rampage, Watchmen took over the proceedings for a bit. HBO’s latest limited series hit perhaps wasn’t as dominant as initially suspected, losing out on two acting categories...

After a most unconventional awards season, the Emmys finally took place on Sunday. The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards was a night of numerous firsts.

“Schitt’s Creek” became the first series to win every major comedy award. “Watchmen’s” limited series win marked the first time a comic-book adaptation has taken home a top prize at the ceremony. Zendaya also made history with her win for lead drama actress, becoming the youngest-ever winner in the category (she turned 24 a few weeks ago) and being the first Black actor to take this trophy since “How to Get Away With Murder’s” Viola Davis in 2015.

The two series, along with “Succession,” dominated the comedy, limited series and drama fields, respectively, including nabbing the three top outstanding series trophies.

The show, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, was held virtually for the first time.
