As Superman wraps and season 2 of Peacemaker continues shooting, another DC Studios project is preparing to begin production at the top of next year: Lanterns. As previously reported by us, the HBO Original series was looking to begin filming sometime in the first quarter of 2025. More specific production details have emerged, giving us a better sense of when cameras will start rolling on this superhero-detective series.
Nexus Point News have exclusively learned from their sources that production is slated to begin in January of 2025 and continue through June of that year. Although we had previously heard rumblings that the series was looking to shoot in the United Kingdom, we have heard that it will be shooting in Atlanta now.
The True Detective-inspired series will follow veteran Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, and rookie, John Stewart, as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. Having Atlanta be the filming location for the series will hopefully allow for more opportunities to shoot on location, as Atlanta is part of the American heartland.
As previously mentioned in an AMA on X by this writer, casting has officially begun on Lanterns. Casting descriptions reported on by DCUleaks and Nexus Point News, pointed to the leads, Hal and John, being in their forties and thirties respectively. Since the casting process typically tends to skew out of these age ranges, some actors being looked at are slightly younger or older. Nexus Point News has also heard that the role of Hal Jordan is intended to go to a noteworthy name. Casting on Hal Jordan is currently the priority with casting for John, following it. It’s likely that this could be for potential chemistry reads for the duo.
Lanterns was officially picked up by HBO as a eight episode series and is in development by DC Studios as part of Chapter One of the DC Universe.
This story is still developing.
