As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for comic book adaptations, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation upon hearing about Kelly Macdonald joining the cast of HBO’s Lanterns series. Her rich and diverse acting background, from Boardwalk Empire to The Girl in the Café, promises to breathe life into the enigmatic character of Sheriff Kerry.


Kelly Macdonald joins the cast of HBO’s “Lanterns” series as a potential love interest for Kyle Chandler’s character Hal Jordan. This live-action Green Lantern adaptation stars Chandler as seasoned Green Lantern Hal Jordan, while Aaron Pierre plays newcomer John Stewart. Macdonald has previously worked with HBO, having portrayed Margaret Thompson on “Boardwalk Empire” and receiving an Emmy nomination for her performance. She also won an Emmy for her role in the BBC TV film “The Girl in the Café.

Kelly Macdonald will play Sheriff Kerry, a tough and family-oriented woman tightly connected with her small town. Her strength, stemming from a challenging past that’s made her more resolute, helps her navigate when the community’s hidden truths start to emerge. It seems that Sheriff Kerry might be romantically involved with Hal Jordan, portrayed by Chandler, although there are no indications that Macdonald will depict Carol Ferris in a live-action role.

The series titled “Lanterns” introduces us to newcomer John Stewart and legendary figure Hal Jordan, both interstellar law enforcers who find themselves entangled in a mysterious case on Earth’s heartland. As they delve into an unexplained murder, their investigation shares similarities with the atmospheric style of “True Detective.

Chris Mundy (Ozark, True Detective: Night Country) is the showrunner for Lanterns, with Mundy co-writing alongside Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, The Leftovers), and DC comic writer Tom King. King is an Eisner Award winner for his work on Batman and Mister Miracle, and his Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is being adapted into a feature film starring Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon).

In addition to “Boardwalk Empire” and “The Girl in the Café,” Kelly Macdonald’s acting credits also span a British comedy-horror film titled “The Radleys” and the Netflix mystery series known as “Department Q.

In simpler terms, the “Lanterns” refers to a component of the fresh DC Universe being constructed by the co-CEOs of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran. The first project from this studio that fans will see is the mature animated series titled “Creature Commandos,” set to debut on Max on December 5th. This will be followed by a “Superman” feature film directed by Gunn and featuring David Corenswet. Upcoming projects for HBO/Max include Season 2 of “Peacemaker” and an Amanda Waller solo series.
