‘Lanterns’ Season 2 Fate Officially Revealed [Exclusive]
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Peter Safran says the decision on a second season of *Lanterns* depends on whether its writers can develop a story worthy of following the first. Fans should hear about the show’s potential future before the end of the year, but no renewal has been announced.
Safran praised the first season for bringing Green Lantern back into positive public discussion after the character’s 2011 film. All eight episodes are available, and work on a possible follow-up is under way. He declined to explain whether the finale’s ring-charging scene means Hal Jordan is dead.
- A second season has not been confirmed.
- DC says the follow-up story must meet the first season’s standard.
- Fans should hear more before the year ends.

Green Lantern is a DC Comics hero whose power comes from a ring that creates objects from the wearer’s willpower. Hal Jordan is one of the best-known Green Lanterns; the character’s 2011 film received a poor response, and the series is part of DC’s effort to bring him back to public attention.
Lanterns is an HBO series centred on Green Lanterns, with its first season comprising eight episodes. DC Studios, led by Peter Safran and James Gunn, oversees the wider slate of DC films and television, while the show’s writers are developing a possible continuation.
A second season would depend on DC deciding there is a story worth pursuing. The finale leaves a question about Hal Jordan’s fate, and the meaning of its ring-charging scene has not been confirmed.
