Created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, the DCU show stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Green Lantern characters Hal Jordan and John Stewart. What does the new Lanterns poster look like? On Twitter, James Gunn shared a new poster for DC‘s Lanterns.

The poster is primarily an image of a Green Lantern power ring, though Hal and John’s silhouettes can both be seen as well. The poster comes with the tagline, “Once one can wear the ring.” View it below: #Lanterns is coming this August to @hbomax. pic.twitter.com/Pyoc5udNey— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) April 23, 2026 The logline for Lanterns reads, “The series follows new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.” In addition to Chandler and Pierre, the cast includes Kelly Macdonald as Kerry, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Garret Dillahunt as William Macon, Poorna Jagannathan as Zoe, Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, Nicole Ari Parker as Bernadette Stewart, Jason Ritter as Billy Macon, Sherman Augustus as John Stewart Sr., and Paul Ben-Victor as Antaan.

Mundy said about Lanterns when the show officially began production, “From the start, our driving force has been to deliver a layered drama – rooted in nuanced storytelling and rich world building – that balances tension and mystery with honest, authentic emotion. The goal is to create something that feels timeless and grounded without sacrificing the magic of the source material.” James Hawes directs the first two episodes of Lanterns, while Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Alik Sakharov also direct episodes. Gunn, Mundy, Lindelof, Peter Safran, King, Ron Schmidt, and Hawes all serve as executive producers on the series.

Lanterns will premiere on HBO Max this coming August, though an exact release date has not yet been announced. Originally reported by Brandon Schreur at SuperHeroHype.
