DC Green Lantern Series in Production With Damon Lindelof
It’s true, there’s a Green Lantern series in development at DC.
Called Lanterns, the show will reportedly follow two famous Green Lanterns from the comics, Hal Jordan and John Stewart. They use special rings to harness the power of will and conjure anything they can imagine.
DC co-CEO James Gunn confirmed the news on Instagram, writing "Yes, it's true. The Lanterns DCU series is putting together a crack team of writers, based on a wonderful pilot script and bible by Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof. A hearty welcome to Chris and @damonlindelof as they join the DC Studios family (no welcome necessary for old @tomking_tk, who has been here nearly since inception)."

Lindelof is the biggest name, a writer and producer best known for Lost, Watchmen, Prometheus, and World War Z. Mundy, meanwhile, won accolades for his work on Netflix crime series Ozark.

Lanterns is part of DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. According to Gunn, it “leads into the overall story that we're telling throughout the different movies and television shows,” Gunn said of Lanterns. “And we find this ancient horror on earth, and these guys are basically super cops on Precinct Earth.”
