HBO Max is doing their best to stack their DC Comics offerings, including the long-rumored live-action “Green Lantern” series. An official series order for 10 1-hour episodes was made public today, as well as details of who will be writing and showrunning.
Producer Greg Berlanti said:
“In what promises to be our biggest DC show ever made, we will be going to space with a Green Lantern television series — but I can’t reveal any more about that just yet.”
Seth Grahame-Smith and Marc Guggenheim are co-writing and executive producing, with Grahame-Smith serving as showrunner. Berlanti Productions will produce in association with Warner Bros. Television making this yet-another Berlanti-Verse series.
Early reports (like this one from Variety) state the series will center around MULTIPLE Green Lanterns, including Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Alan Scott, and many more. Sinestro and Kilowog will make appearances, as well new characters joining the Green Lantern Corps.
That’s sort of all anyone knows officially at this point, and we’re expecting some early casting predictions before too long. Who would you want to see take on the role?
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
