Overview

Lanterns (the new DC Universe series coming to HBO Max) dropped a surprising teaser in March that swapped the usual superhero hijinks for gritty realism, reminiscent of True Detectives and Slow Horses. The teaser interweaves these grittier aspects with more superpowers and intergalactic elements, hinting at a blend of tone for the series.

Logline

“The series follows new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth‑based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.”
The story will unfold across two timelines: one set in 2016 about a murder in Nebraska, and the other set in 2026.
