## Summary

A DC Studios insider quoted in a Variety report says HBO’s *Lanterns* has not been renewed for a second season, despite strong reviews and audience interest. The claim follows James Gunn and Peter Safran’s reported departure from DC Studios, adding to uncertainty about the direction of the wider DC universe.

The series, starring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, reportedly drew viewership comparable to *The Pitt*. Co-creator Damon Lindelof said in October that writers were discussing ideas, while Safran said a renewal would depend on finding a story worthy of following the first season; no official decision has been confirmed.
