The new HBO miniseries 'Lanterns' is set to premiere in the UK on August 16. The eight-episode series, which is part of the rebooted DC Universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran, will be available on HBO MAX, NOW, and Sky Atlantic.
The show centres on two significant Lanterns from the comic series: Hal Jordan, played by Kyle Chandler, and John Stewart, played by Aaron Pierre. They are depicted as intergalactic law-enforcement officers.
Creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King have developed the series, with Mundy serving as showrunner. The miniseries is described as having a confident and grounded tone, exploring heavyweight themes such as race and difficult upbringings.
