The new TV show Lanterns, part of the DC Universe, will explore events across a vast period of time. Featuring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, the show has already sparked debate among fans. While the Lanterns comics are known for their large-scale, universe-altering stories, this series appears to be starting with a more personal and down-to-earth approach. We now have a clearer understanding of when Lanterns will take place within the larger DCU timeline.
In an interview with EW, the showrunner, Chris Mundy, revealed that the series will unfold across two time periods. Part of the story takes place in 2016, where Stewart acts as a backup Green Lantern, ready to step in if anything happens to Hal. Mundy describes this as a “passing of the torch” situation, which aligns with what viewers saw in the Lanterns trailer. The other timeline is set ten years later, in 2026, and the details are currently being kept secret. Mundy hinted that this future storyline will be a major mystery for viewers to unravel.
