DC Studios’ New Green Lantern Series Officially Confirms Episode Count
DC Studios co-chief executive Peter Safran has confirmed that the animated series *My Adventures with Green Lantern* will have 10 half-hour episodes. The spin-off will follow Jessica Cruz, voiced by Auliʻi Cravalho, and is intended to share the warm tone of *My Adventures with Superman* while exploring different characters and Green Lantern lore.
The story is set at Hal Jordan Memorial High School, where student Jessica is chosen to join the Lantern Corps. Safran said the team is reviewing animatics and animation, though the series is still some way from release. The article also describes the spin-off as a chance to spend more time with Jessica, much as its predecessor does with Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
In short
- The animated series will have 10 half-hour episodes.
- Jessica Cruz will lead the Green Lantern spin-off.
- DC Studios is reviewing animatics and animation.
Explained simply
Green Lantern is a superhero title used by members of the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar group that protects parts of the universe. Its members use powerful rings to create objects and effects, and different characters have worn the title over the years.
Jessica Cruz is one of those characters in DC Comics. In this animated story, she is a student at Hal Jordan Memorial High School who is chosen to join the Corps; Auliʻi Cravalho provides her voice. The series is connected in style to My Adventures with Superman, which focuses on Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
The story gives Jessica a central role and introduces viewers to her place in the wider Green Lantern world. That matters because the Corps has a large history and many characters, while a series centred on one young recruit can offer a starting point for new viewers.
