Warner Bros. Discovery has announced a release timeframe for the new HBO Max series Lanterns, following recent online speculation about possible delays. Earlier reports suggested the show might premiere after the Supergirl movie, but that plan has now been ruled out.

The show centers on new recruit John Stewart and experienced Lantern Hal Jordan, who team up as intergalactic police to solve a murder mystery unfolding in the American Midwest.

Other cast members include Chris Coy as Waylon Sanders, Jasmine Cephas Jones as young Bernadette, Sherman Augustus as John Sr., J. Alphonse Nicholson as a young John Sr., Jason Ritter as Billy Macon, and Nicole Ari Parker as Bernadette. Notably, Nathan Fillion appears as Guy Gardner, a role he first played in James Gunn’s Superman movie before joining the HBO series.

Lanterns is led by showrunner Chris Mundy, known for his work on ‘True Detective: Night Country’ and ‘Ozark’. Damon Lindelof (‘The Leftovers’, ‘Watchmen’) and Tom King (‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’) are co-writers and executive producers.
