Lanterns Not Renewed for Season 2, Says DC Studios Insider
An insider at DC Studios claims that HBO’s Lanterns was not renewed for a second season in spite of rave reviews and audience interest, as told in a report from Variety.
A source within DC Studios has revealed that the live-action series Lanterns was not renewed for a second season, despite receiving high praise and audience interest. This comes as a surprise, given the show’s success and the hope for a follow-up. The series, which stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, garnered viewership numbers comparable to that of The Pitt.
Variety reported that the series did not receive a second season renewal, although writers had already been brainstorming ideas for it. DC Studios co-founder James Gunn and producer Peter Safran both left the company on November 9, citing a dislike for the more "corporate" aspects of their positions and long hours that impacted their personal lives.
Despite Gunn’s four-year tenure and three films produced, fans are now concerned about the future of the DC Universe. DC Studios CEO Chris Mundy and the team have expressed optimism about the show’s potential for a sequel, suggesting that it could be a valuable addition to the studio’s slate of content.
