Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios have officially announced the creative team for the highly anticipated Green Lantern series, “Lanterns.”
This news was confirmed by James Gunn, DC Studios co-chief, in a social media post on Threads. The series will feature the creative talents of Damon Lindelof, Chris Mundy, and Tom King, with Lindelof known for his work on “Lost,” “Watchmen,” and “Mrs. Davis,” and Mundy for “Ozark.” Tom King, a well-regarded DC comic author, adds his expertise to the mix.
Confirming the Rumors
Although Lindelof, Mundy, and King had been speculated to be part of the project for some time, Gunn’s announcement makes it official. He praised the team for delivering a “wonderful pilot script and bible” and mentioned that they are currently assembling a team of talented writers to bring the series to life.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) website lists several writers associated with the series. These include Justin Britt-Gibson, known for “Into The Badlands,” Breannah Gibson of “Young Love,” and Vanessa Baden Kelly from “Animal Kingdom.” Their involvement hints at a diverse and experienced writing team dedicated to creating a compelling narrative for “Lanterns.”
A Grounded Approach
The new series promises to be a significant HBO-quality event, comparable to shows like “True Detective.” Chris Mundy’s experience as a writer and executive producer on “Night Country” lends credibility to this ambitious project. Unlike traditional Green Lantern stories that explore cosmic themes, “Lanterns” will focus on a terrestrial-based investigation, providing a more grounded approach to the superhero genre.
Central Characters and Plot
“Lanterns” will revolve around Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two iconic Green Lanterns. The series will follow their investigation of a mystery that is crucial to the overarching storyline of DC Studios’ film and television projects. Peter Safran, co-chief of DC Studios, previously mentioned that this mystery would play a significant role in the larger narrative they are crafting.
Production Timeline and Expectations
While the official production timeline remains uncertain, it is unlikely that “Lanterns” will begin filming before the end of the year. Consequently, fans may have to wait until at least 2026 to see the series debut. Despite the wait, the involvement of high-caliber talent and the promise of a rich, investigatory storyline make “Lanterns” a highly anticipated addition to the DC Universe.
The unveiling of the creative team behind “Lanterns” marks an exciting development for DC Studios and fans of the Green Lantern franchise. With a strong team of writers and producers, the series promises to deliver a unique and engaging take on the Green Lantern lore, blending terrestrial mystery with superhero drama.
