Christopher Cantwell says Lanterns hasn’t been canceled
As rumors spread online that DC Studios' Lanterns has been canceled, Halt And Catch Fire 's Christopher Cantwell—who has been working on a potential season two—is telling people on social media to "calm down."
Christopher Cantwell, the creator and showrunner behind AMC's Halt and Catch Fire and a comic book writer, has addressed concerns regarding the future of HBO Max's Lanterns. After the recent ousting of DC Studios' co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, rumors have circulated that the show may have been canceled. However, Cantwell has taken to Bluesky to put these fears to rest.
In a post, he stated that he has "heard a fucking thing" about Lanterns being canceled and reiterated that "nothing's cancelled." The show, which averaged 19 million international viewers per episode during its run, did not "quite capture the zeitgeist" as expected, but Cantwell emphasized that the company needs to stabilize DC Studios before considering any future season of Lanterns.
