The series has been picked up for a 10 episode first season and is being produced by Greg Berlanti with WB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Grahame-Smith was formerly attached to WB&#8217;s &#8220;The Flash&#8221; movie a long ways back.

Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/green-lantern-seth-grahame-smith-to-write-showrun-hbo-max-series\">THR<\/a>, we know that the show is considered a drama. Which is a good thing! I was worried it would end up being very childish, especially in the wake of the Batwheels announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready for some character stuff? Brace yourselves. No really, you might want to sit down for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> <br>The makers are describing the show as a saga spanning decades and galaxies And will feature a host of Green Lanterns, the galactic police officers that patrol the known and unknown universe. The show will focus on Earth-centric Lanterns Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz, and Alan Scott and will also have alien Lanterns such as fan-favorite Kilowog, as well as Sinestro, a former Lantern now turned villain. <\/p><p>Lanterns Hal Jordan, perhaps the best&nbsp; known character in the franchise, Jon Stewart and Kyle Raynor are not part of the show. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>No Hal. No Kyle. No John. And the show (especially given the pandemic we&#8217;re struggling in) is still in &#8220;the story stage and could be, factoring directors and casting, in production by mid-next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"970\" src=\"http:\/\/thegreenlanterncorps.com\/web\/assets\/GreenLanternSeries_900_5f80b9e0c56267.77520907.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10237\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thegreenlanterncorps.com\/web\/assets\/GreenLanternSeries_900_5f80b9e0c56267.77520907.jpg 750w, http:\/\/thegreenlanterncorps.com\/web\/assets\/GreenLanternSeries_900_5f80b9e0c56267.77520907-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warner Bros. has chosen a showrunner for its &#8220;Green Lantern&#8221; series!
