‘Lanterns’ Season 2 Fate Officially Revealed [Exclusive]
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran says fans should hear about the possibility of a second season of *Lanterns* before the end of the year. He has not confirmed a renewal, and the decision matters because the writers’ room must develop a story DC considers worthy of following the first season.
Safran called the HBO series a success for bringing Green Lantern back into positive public discussion after the character’s 2011 film. All eight episodes of the first season have been released, and the writers are working on a potential continuation. Safran declined to say whether the finale’s ring-charging scene means Hal Jordan is dead.
- A second season has not been confirmed.
- DC expects to share news before year-end.
- The writers’ story will determine whether the series continues.

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.
