Lanterns Writer Says 'Nothing's Cancelled. Calm Down' Amid Concern for Season 2 Following Shock DC Shakeup

Is Lanterns Season 2 happening or not? It’s unclear, following the shock exit of DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. Yesterday, Variety reported that Lanterns "didn't get renewed for a second season," then updated the wording of its article to say the show "has yet to be renewed for a second season."

With Skydance and new DC boss Jeremy Latcham now in charge of all intellectual property under Warner Bros.’s banner, the future of the DCU is up in the air. Gunn’s own Man of Tomorrow and Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II (the latter of which is not part of the DCU canon) still have theatrical release dates, but beyond that, what’s the plan? We don’t know.

Lanterns, which stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, was well-received, and reports indicated a team had been assembled to write and produce Season 2, should it be greenlit. Here’s what Variety had to say about Lanterns, specifically:

“Lanterns, their first live-action TV show, had strong viewership and averaged 19 million viewers globally per episode going into the finale. Yet an insider at the company suggests the crime drama isn’t quite capturing the zeitgeist, pointing out the show has yet to be renewed for a second season.”

That doesn’t sound good for Lanterns Season 2, although we know Pierre’s John Stewart is set to star in next summer’s Man of Tomorrow. Countering the doom and gloom around Lanterns, however, is Chris Cantwell, co-creator of Halt and Catch Fire.
