After a near-endless casting and development process, it looks like DC’s Green Lantern series is finally almost ready to begin production. HBO and Max have spent years developing a show based on the classic DC Comics sci-fi property. Their version has always been described as a kind of police procedural set in outer space, but exactly which Lanterns are the focus (and who is doing the focusing behind the camera) has been in flux. The latest version of the show, called Lanterns, is from DC writer Tom King, Damon Lindelof, and Chris Munday, who is the showrunner on the series.
