Inspired by the Green Lantern stories, but with a True Detective-style twist, the show follows veteran space cop Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they unravel a dark murder mystery.
Hopefully, producer and DC architect James Gunn, plus series creators Chris Mundy (Ozark), Damon Lindelof (Watchmen) and Tom King (Supergirl), have some tricks up their sleeve to wow the sceptics when Lanterns premieres this summer.
If you're intrigued to know more about the next big addition to DC's film and TV universe, read on for all the essential details on HBO Max's Lanterns.
The streaming platform recently launched in the UK, which means the series is likely to air simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic, making it easier to dodge spoilers than if there were an extended delay.
We'll update this page with more information on the release of DC's Lanterns as it comes in.
Lanterns cast: Who stars in the DC Comics adaptation?
Green Lanterns wield rings that, among other abilities, allow them to create powerful constructs of whatever they can imagine, with the ring's strength derived from the wearer's willpower.
The Green Lantern mythos hasn't had the most glorious luck transitioning to live-action, with 2011's critically panned Ryan Reynolds film being a low point, but things appear to be looking up in James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe.
The writer-director introduced Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) – one of the less likeable members of the Corps – in last summer's Superman, with the character confirmed to return in Lanterns.
Nicole Ari Parker and Sherman Augustus has been cast as John Stewart's parents, Bernadette and John Snr, with Poorna Jagannathan, Jason Ritter and Paul Ben-Victor rounding out the main cast.
Here's an overview of all the confirmed names for HBO's Lanterns:

The show introduces Hal Jordan and John Stewart – two of the most prominent characters to have held the Green Lantern mantle – depicting them as mentor and rookie on this perplexing case.
With Hal's arch-nemesis Sinestro confirmed to appear, it's possible that the series will head to space at some point – or at least allude to greater threats in the wider DC Universe.
