Hal Jordan and John Stewart don the classic green in this new hardboiled space cop mystery
Lanterns is an upcoming HBO series set in the Green Lantern universe. Taking place in the 1990s, the show follows Hal Jordan, played by Kyle Chandler, as he teams up with John Stewart, portrayed by Aaron Pierre. Together, they investigate strange homicides in America's midwestern heartland. Though grounded in reality, the series still features alien invasions, shape-shifting Manhunters, and cosmic action. Lanterns premieres on HBO and HBO Max on August 16, 2026, with subsequent episodes airing weekly.
