HBO officially picked up “Lanterns,” the first live-action series created expressly for DC Studios under co-chairmen/co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran, in June. The series was given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order by HBO, with Chris Mundy (“True Detective: Night Country,” “Ozark”) serving as showrunner and exec producer.

Lanterns is one of the most anticipated upcoming superhero shows, as fans pray that the new HBO series will finally do the Green Lantern Corps justice in live-action. Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler will bring John Stewart and Hal Jordan to life in the new series,
