Lanterns Showrunner: Gunn’s Hands-Off Approach Fuels Season 2 Planning

Lanterns showrunner Chris Mundy explains that James Gunn largely let the series develop with minimal input, allowing a grounded, True Detective–style take on the Green Lanterns; Mundy is already six weeks into outlining a potential Season 2 with Christopher Cantwell, contingent on audience interest, and the team intends to tell the next chapter in a fresh way. The first season, set in Rushville, Nebraska, follows Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) across a 2016–2026 timeline after a town murder, and Lanterns now airs Sundays on HBO/HBO Max through Oct 4.
