Superheroes remain one of the most appealing characters in the movie industry, as evidenced by the box office success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. A Marvel Studios production, the studio is well-versed in such successful ventures, and a similar feat was the goal when the decision was made to see James Gunn and Peter Safran take the helm ofDC Studios. Gunn and Safran put together a plan, and Chapter One: Gods and Monsters was envisioned with Superman (starring David Corenswet), which premiered in July 2025, kicking things off. Since then, Supergirl (starring Milly Alcock), which premiered in June 2026, albeit to a rather disappointing showing at the box office, as well as <em>Creature Commandos</em> in 2024 and Peacemaker Season 2 in 2025, have all premiered.
Overall, the revamp has been a success with Superman‘s solid start, a standout point of reference, but there is more that can be done with the characters available. And so the baton falls on Lanterns, the newest live-action series from DC Studios, to further help establish the new regime. Since the show debuted on August 16, it has rapidly established itself as a hit for HBO. The Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler-led sci-fi crime drama has seen its audience share seemingly grow week-on-week amid the spread of positive word of mouth. With twists already dropping midway through the first season, there is much to enjoy for veterans and those who are newcomers to the Green Lantern mythos as well. So, why does the future of Lanterns Season 2 remain uncertain?
Speaking to Deadline recently, Casey Bloys, the boss of HBO, said fans need to note the difference between “development” and those which are “greenlit shows.” Bloys praised “our track record in DC,” going on to name-drop “Watchmen to Peacemaker to Penguin and now Lanterns,” while highlighting that the shows are “pretty good.” Pressed on whether any other show was in active development, Bloys added that The People v Gorilla Grodd, the upcoming Superman TV spin-off, following The Daily Planet‘s Jimmy Olsen, is the only TV series in active development at DC Studios. “No, not right now, obviously you’ve got [The People v] Gorilla Grodd, which I’m very happy about, [they’re] doing something different, and I think it’s a really fun idea. They just started shooting,” Bloys said.
