‘Lanterns’: HBO Releases First Look At Kyle Chandler & Aaron Pierre In DC Studios Series

Lanterns blends buddy-cop and superhero genres as two intergalactic cops investigate a dark murder mystery in the American heartland, premiering on HBO Max in 2026.

  • On Friday, HBO Max unveiled a short trailer for its 2026 slate featuring never‑been‑seen footage and a teaser for Lanterns, an HBO Original and DC Studios series premiering in 2026.
  • HBO Max used brand spots to promote its 2026 slate, showing `HBO Max's commitment to delivering high quality, must-see stories` and featuring never‑before‑seen footage from Lanterns and other series.
  • Lanterns comes from creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King and features Hal Jordan saying `You’re not ready to get up in front of the class until the ring says you are.` and John Stewart saying `I’ve trained my whole life for this.`
  • The teaser frames Lanterns as a headline title in HBO Max’s 2026 slate, positioning the streamer’s return to premium TV to compete with Netflix and Prime Video.
  • Showrunner Chris Mundy earlier this year described the series as a buddy‑cop/superhero hybrid, saying it is `as much of a buddy cop show as a superhero show` with a replacement theme central to character dynamics involving Aaron Pierre.
