Finally, some exciting news for those out there without access to Hulu or Disney+. Whether you’re looking to get a rewatch started ahead of its fall return or you’ve been hearing about the hype surrounding Season 1 of High Potential, you’re in luck. Tonight, Tuesday, July 1, beginning at 8 Pm Est, the title’s home network, ABC, will roll out the first three episodes of the show’s debut season. This means that anyone with access to a basic cable package can tune in to tag along with Kaitlin Olson’s Morgan Gillory at the very beginning of her story. For right now, it looks like the trio of installments is all that’s on ABC’s schedule, but we’d wager that the network will continue screening more of the season as the summer wears on.

DC Studios' approach to Lanterns has been interesting, to say the least. While it's hard to fault the decision to make John Stewart the Dcu's main Green Lantern, casting a 59-year-old Hal Jordan (and a 54-year-old Guy Gardner) wasn't something anyone saw coming.
Still, it means those characters have a built-in history in the Dcu, and Nexus Point News has today confirmed that Hal's past will be explored in the upcoming HBO Max TV series.
Lanterns has already cast younger and older versions of John's parents, as well as a child version of the character and his brother. That's led to speculation about a flashback episode for the hero, and the same may be in the works for Hal as his parents, Martin and Jessica Jordan, are also being cast.
According to the site, "Martin is described as handsome, confident, charming, but hides a deep sadness. Similar to the comics,...

Earlier reports about Lanterns being grounded may have been misconstrued by fans.
Recently, James Gunn tried to clarify those comments, and now, James Hawes, who directed the Lanterns pilot, is doing the same.
Hawes recently spoke to Phase Hero about the release of The Amateur but also touched on his work on the Dcu's upcoming Green Lantern drama.
"The scripts have so much with, so much character, it's a buddy cop movie, played out in a True Detective, Fargo, No Country For Old Men naturalistic [way] and then somebody flies," exclaimed the British television director.
Addressing previous reports and comments about the series being grounded and the assumption that everything is set on Earth, Hawes stated, "I'm going to talk very obliquely about this because there are excitements to come," teased Hawes.
"It won't disappoint the classic fans. I think it will invite in a whole new audience as well, " Hawes said.

Lanterns star Aaron Pierre will soon showcase his superhuman strength as Green Lantern in the anticipated DC Universe series. However, the acclaimed actor reveals how much strength he needed to show in real life to prepare for the superhero role, bouncing back from a severe injury to make his Dcu debut.

The devastating injury news came before learning the next month that he'd portray John Stewart's Green Lantern in Lanterns, with filming for the Max series beginning this past February. Pierre offered insight into his rigourous rehab in a video showcasing him lifting countless weights, chains and riding a bike as he locked into getting healthy before shooting for the series began.

The highly anticipated HBO series Lanterns is set to be a cosmic cornerstone of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe (Dcu), offering a fresh, grounded take on the iconic Green Lantern mythology.
Unlike previous adaptations, this series is described as a detective story with a gritty, True Detective-esque tone. It will follow two legendary Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, as they unravel a dark, Earth-bound mystery.
The plot centers on a seemingly isolated murder in the American heartland, specifically Nebraska. This local crime will draw the veteran Green Lantern Corps member Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and his new recruit, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), into deeper, more sinister revelations.
The series, consisting of eight episodes, promises to connect this Earth-based investigation to the larger narrative of the Dcu's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

The countdown for a new era of DC movies under James Gunn’s leadership has begun. First up is David Corenswet-led Superman, which brings a host of fan favorite characters, some that we’ve seen before, some whose debut was long hoped by fans. Among them is Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern, aka Guy Gardner, who’ll debut in the upcoming feature and will make further appearances in both John Cena’s Peacemaker and the Lanterns series. And if Fillion is to be believed, we’re in to meet a very powerful but very “smug” guy.
"I love the idea that if you have an emergency and you need a Green Lantern — there's thousands of them out there in the galaxy — this is the last one you want," Fillion tells of his version of Guy Gardner. Fillion has a long list of credits, which also includes voicing another Green Lantern,...

One of the most memorable (and controversial) characters on "The Walking Dead" was Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan. He's a villain who introduced himself in the comics by bashing in the head of one of the most beloved characters in the series, and he introduced himself in the show by doing that twice. Whereas the show's previous big bad, the Governor, got killed off after only a season and a half of mayhem, Negan's reign of terror lasted two full seasons -- and he didn't die at the end of it. He stuck around and has haunted the franchise for years, and is now the co-lead of a spinoff series alongside Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohen).
But the Negan haters can't even be mad, because Negan is undeniably a fun, intriguing character by this point. He's a little crazy and, thanks to his introduction setting expectations very low Re: his moral fiber,...

Lanterns Reportedly Adds Oscar-Nominated Love Actually Star - Is She Playing The Dcu's Carol Ferris?
DC Studios has attracted some exciting talent for the Dcu, though it could do with a few more A-listers. Fortunately, Jeff Sneider is reporting today that Laura Linney has joined the cast of HBO Max's Lanterns.
The Love Actually star has been the recipient of many awards, including three Emmys and two Golden Globes. She's also received three Academy Award nominations.
Who is Linney playing? Sneider isn't sure. However, Kyle Chandler is 59 and Linney is 61; taking that into account, it would make sense for her to take on the role of Carol Ferris, the love of Hal Jordan's life and the superhero known as Star Sapphire. The reporter acknowledged that it's a possibility on The Hot Mic podcast.
We wouldn't be surprised if she's powerless in the Dcu, unless the Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Indigo and Violet, Black, White, and Ultraviolet Corps from across the emotional spectrum have existed for years.

After nine absolutely entertaining episodes of Sprung, which debuted on Amazon Freevee on August 19, 2022, with two episodes released weekly afterward, fans anticipated the comedy’s return for another run. Even series creator Greg Garcia, who wrote and directed the show, remained hopeful in the summer of 2023 as he was still “waiting to see if Amazon wants to do more.” Unfortunately, it has now been confirmed via TVLine that Sprung will not be back for Season 2.
Led by Garret Dillahunt and set in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Sprung followed Jack, who, after spending nearly three decades in prison, is released and has to figure out where he will now live. He’s hell-bent on not getting back into a life of crime, but that poses a problem when his former cellmate, Rooster, offers him a room at his mother, Barb's, house, on the condition that Jack joins their criminal enterprise.

Jason Ritter may not be playing a member of the fabled Green Lantern Corps in Lanterns, the upcoming Max series adaptation of DC Comics’ Green Lantern mythos, but he wants you to know he’s eager to don the power ring if called to duty.
“I have to say, personally for me, being a fan of Green Lantern growing up, getting to see the ring in person was cool to me,” Ritter told Gold Derby about admiring the intergalactic peacekeepers’ iconic emerald ring on set. “I haven't quite gotten to the point where I am like, ‘Can I try that on?’ I'm hoping to at some point to just try it on, say the oath really quick, see what happens.”

Olivia Newman’s adaptation of Delia Owens’ best-selling novel Where the Crawdads Sing is such a mind-numbingly superficial film that die-hard fans of the source material will love it even more while the uninitiated will leave the theater wondering how the book ever sold millions of copies in the first place. The longer it proclaims to be fully invested in developing its protagonist, Catherine “Kya” Clarke (Daisy Edgar-Jones), as a figure of resilience and independence, the further it devolves into a preachy, predictable, and stodgy melodrama that thinks it can hide its glaringly obvious nods to Nicholas Sparks. With that kind of valiant effort, it does much to downplay the circumstances and urgency of those who have been brought up in the same kind of lower class lifestyle it purports to depict.

Lanterns, which stars Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler, is the first live-action series set in James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe, which debuts on the big screen this summer with Superman.

Over 24 hours, a swirl of rumors emerged that actor Garrett Dillahunt was going to be playing Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow in the Dcu seriesLanterns, but DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn has put that rumor to rest. Dillahunt joined the cast of Lanterns in November 2024, where it was confirmed that he was playing a new character, William Macon. He has been described as a modern-day cowboy who is a conspiracy-minded, self-righteous individual hiding behind a charming facade. On Apr. 24, 2025, in a now-deleted Instagram post, Dillahunt shared a series of photos of himself wearing what looked like a Green Arrow costume with the caption "Ollie Ollie oxin free" alongside some storyboard images.
The now-deleted post quickly spread like wildfire, and when DC Studios co-president James Gunn was asked on Threads if Dillahunt was playing Green Arrow in Lanterns, he responded, "Haha no." Dillahaunt made a separate post clearing up the confusion,...

Sorry, DC fans, but Green Arrow will not be making his DC Universe debut in Lanterns. DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn recently shot down a rumor circulating the web that claimed that Lanterns star Garret Dillahunt was secretly playing the fan-favorite archer in the HBO series.
The rumor began circulating after Dillahunt shared a now-deleted Instagram post featuring a photo of himself as the Emerald Archer, along with some storyboard shots. With the actor having been previously cast as William Macon, "a self-righteous, conspiracy-minded man who masks his ruthless ambition behind a charming and calculated facade," in Lanterns, many fans quickly took to the idea that William Macon was being used as a placeholder name to keep Green Arrow's Dcu debut a secret.

Yesterday, some images posted by Lanterns actor Garrett Dillahunt sparked speculation that the Deadwood and Last House of the Left star might be set to play Oliver Queen in the upcoming HBO series.
When Dillahunt's casting was announced, he was said to be playing a character named William Macon, who was described as "a self-righteous, conspiracy-minded man who masks his ruthless ambition behind a charming and calculated facade."
It's easy enough to understand why fans might have assumed that he's really playing Ollie - the actor appeared in costume as Green Arrow in some behind-the-scenes photos and storyboard shots, after all - but whatever his reasons for sharing the since-deleted Insta post, it doesn't look like he'll be suiting up as the Emerald Archer in the Dcu.

The DC Universe just got messier—and spicier. If recent leaks and deleted Instagram posts are to be believed, Deadwood and Raising Hope star Garret Dillahunt might be slipping into the quiver of Dcu’s new Green Arrow, replacing Stephen Amell’s long-standing version of Oliver Queen. Cue the internet meltdown. Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the Arrowcave: Stephen Amell isn’t exactly sending James Gunn a Christmas card anytime soon. The Arrow actor, who played Queen for eight seasons on The CW, recently opened up on Chris Van Vliet’s podcast about his feelings toward the new DC regime. Spoiler: they’re not great. Amell didn’t appreciate Peacemaker’s digs at his show. “Our show was kind of treated like shit,” he said, referring to a certain joke Cena’s character made. He also threw in a not-so-subtle jab: “People don’t think of the...

Deadline reports that Paul Ben-Victor has joined the cast of HBO’s Lanterns for what will be a key recurring role as a mysterious extraterrestrial.
The actor will play Antaan, “an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and exacting vengeance against those who wronged his people. Consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law, he is determined to deliver justice on his own terms.” While the name is different, fans believe that the character is actually Atrocitus, a character who was forced to witness the death of his wife and children (as well as nearly every living being in his sector) after a rampage of rogue Manhunters.

The actor will play Antaan, “an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and exacting vengeance against those who wronged his people. Consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law, he is determined to deliver justice on his own terms.” While the name is different, fans believe that the character is actually Atrocitus, a character who was forced to witness the death of his wife and children (as well as nearly every living being in his sector) after a rampage of rogue Manhunters. He becomes the leader of the Red Lantern Corps and swears vengeance against the Guardians of the Universe and all who serve them.

When news broke on Friday afternoon that Amazon wouldn’t be making a second season of the comedy Clean Slate, media reaction hovered between two viable extremes: “Amazon Cancels Show We Never Knew Existed” and “Amazon Canceled Norman Lear’s Kinda-Final Show.”
I can understand both approaches. Despite the presence of stars Laverne Cox and George Wallace, Lear’s posthumous credit was the highest-profile thing Clean Slate had going for it, and despite all of those elements, I never heard anybody mention Clean Slate out in the wild. It was an invisible show in a landscape that too frequently renders all but the biggest titles invisible.
For me, though, the abrupt end of Clean Slate represented the end of a different, less-heralded era: that of Freevee’s half-hour development, one of the most creatively interesting and commercially botched pieces of brand-building in recent memory.

Since its beginning, Lanterns has billed itself as a mystery series similar to True Detective. Speaking with THR, Lanterns director James Hawes believes those comparisons are valid, but adds that the Green Lantern series will have a little more humour.
“Talking tone, it looks and feels rooted. You meet two guys, but there is wit and comedy to it that you would not expect in True Detective,” Hawes said. “It is, in many ways, a buddy cop structure with travel in the story time, to and fro, that is really sophisticated. Chris Mundy has done the most amazing job with the team there, and so I think [the True Detective comparison] is valid. People will still go, ‘What were you talking about?’ to some extent, but I would also bring in No Country for Old Men, Fargo and things that have that Americana heart to them. There’s a wry humor, and so there...

With production underway on Lanterns, one of the most anticipated titles from the new Dcu slate, director James Haweshas offered fans a new peek at what to expect from the Hal Jordan and John Stewart-led series — and it sounds like a lot more than just True Detective with Green Lanterns. Hawes, while walking the red carpet for the premiere of his new thriller The Amateur, took a moment to speak to The Hollywood Reporter about his other high-profile gig: directing the first two episodes of Lanterns for HBO.
And while comparisons to True Detective have been tossed around since the show's initial announcement, Hawes insists there's more emotional range — and even some unexpected humor — at play within the cosmic chaos and crime set to unfold.

What Do We Know About the upcoming Dcu original series Lanterns? More thank you may think. The HBO series will be the first live-action project on television from James Gunn’s rebooted DC cinematic universe. With casting announcements, rumors, and more, we know a lot of what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss Lanterns.
We will see multiple Green Lanterns
While we met several members of the Green Lantern Corps in the Ryan Reynolds-led feature film, this new series is intentionally plural, as we will meet more than just Hal Jordan. According to James Gunn, Lanterns will center on Jon Stewart, who briefly appeared in Zack Snyder’s Justice League in a non-speaking role. We also know that James Gunn’s longtime friend and collaborator Nathan Fillion is portraying Lanterns hero Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie and will potentially appear.

Lanterns is currently shooting in Atlanta, and while we've already had a first official look at the Dcu's Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the latter - portrayed by actor Aaron Pierre - has now been spotted on set.
Once again, his superhero costume is nowhere to be found. We can't even see John's Green Lantern Corps Power Ring, and his carrying a gun into battle suggests he might not have it for some reason.
Fans have wondered how Lanterns will portray these heroes, particularly on a television budget. HBO doesn't shy away from investing heavily in its offerings, but several episodes of CG-heavy Green Lantern action would soon add up; depowering Hal and John for a while might help.
While Lanterns has been described as a grounded story, Superman star, Nathan Fillion, has been confirmed to return as Guy Gardner.

HBO's Lanterns series is still ever-expanding after recently adding Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner into the fold. Per Deadline, Lawman: Bass Reeves star Chris Coy is now the latest addition to the upcoming Green Lantern drama series in a guest-starring role. He's set to embody a mysterious new character by the name of Waylon Sanders, described as "an intelligent survivor or a nervous truck driver." If that wasn't confusing enough, his real name and age remain an enigma, and he's said to be "unbound by the laws of nature." It's unclear what role he'll play and whether he'll be a friend or a foe to Lantern recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler).
Coy boards a group that has grown significantly in recent weeks, with Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson, and Jason Ritter among those on board thus far.

Nathan Fillion will appear as Guy Gardner (another Green Lantern) in the upcoming HBO-dc Studios series “Lanterns” following his appearance in James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” this summer, TheWrap has learned.
“Lanterns,” which is currently in production, stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. The drama, which was given a straight-to-series order last June, is based on the DC comic “Green Lantern” and follows the two intergalactic cops as they are drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery to investigate a murder in the American heartland.

It was only a matter of time before another member of the Green Lantern Corps joined Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights) and Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) in HBO’s upcoming DC series. It’s been announced that Nathan Fillion will reprise the role of Guy Gardner in Lanterns. The character will introduce himself in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie.
The series follows Hal Jordan (Chandler) and John Stewart (Pierre), “two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.“
Fillion recently teased a little about his character. “He’s a jerk! What’s important to know is, you don’t have to be good to be a Green Lantern; you just have to be fearless,” he said. “So Guy Gardner is fearless, and he is not very good. He’s not nice, which is very freeing as an actor because you just think to yourself,...

HBO’s upcoming DC series “Lanterns” has added Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, one of multiple Green Lanterns in the cast.
This will be far from Fillion’s first time playing a Lantern. He debuted as one of DC’s green heroes in the 2011 animated film “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.” In it, he was the voice actor for Hal Jordan, one of many members of the Green Lantern Corps. He played the role again in 2012’s “Justice League: Doom,” 2013’s “Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox,” 2015’s “Justice League: Throne of Atlantis,” 2018’s “The Death of Superman” and 2019’s “Reign of the Supermen.” Each of the animated films was a straight-to-dvd release.
In 2023, he was cast as a Green Lantern in James Gunn’s live-action film “Superman,” but as Gardner instead of Jordan. The film opens in theaters via Warner Bros. this July.

Cameras are currently rolling on Lanterns, and Slow Horses' James Hawes has been tapped to helm the first two episodes.
Those will set the tone for Green Lantern's corner of the Dcu, and thanks to Ryan Reynolds frequently reminding people how bad the 2011 movie was, they'll also be vital in convincing people to give the Corps another chance.
Hawes has an impressive list of credits to his name; as well as directing the Rami Malek-led The Amateur, he's previously worked on shows like Snowpiercer, The Alienist, Black Mirror, and Raised by Wolves.
Discussing his vision for Lanterns with Collider, Hawes said, "There is a very particular humor that they brought to this. It's very rooted in a way that I like to think we achieve with Slow Horses, that I achieve with things like my Black Mirror's, and yet there is a rich vein of humor running through it.

His next project is something entirely different: Lanterns, the new Max series that will bring two of DC Comics' iconic heroes down to Earth. While discussing his new film, The Amateur,with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Hawes spoke about his vision for the series, and how he came to direct the project, saying, "I’ve worked with the team at HBO Max three times before. I set up Snowpiercer with Sarah Aubrey and Joey Chavez, and I'd worked with them on The Alienist and Raised by Wolves." He continued:

We've already had a first official look at Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Lanterns. Unfortunately, neither sneak peek showcased the costumes Kara Zor-El, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart will wear in their respective corners of the Dcu.
You can find those teasers here and here if you missed them, but set photos from both upcoming DC Studios projects have found their way online today.
While they're not overly revealing, we do get to see the American Heartland that Lanterns is set in. We expect the series to have plenty of cosmic elements, though it's certainly going to be pretty unique watching Sector 2814's Green Lantern Corps members suit up and head into action here.

While they're not overly revealing, we do get to see the American Heartland that Lanterns is set in. We expect the series to have plenty of cosmic elements, though it's certainly going to be pretty unique watching Sector 2814's Green Lantern Corps members suit up and head into action here.

Stranger Things's Sherman Augustus is leaving the Midwest and heading to the DC Universe. The veteran actor and former NFL player recently joined the cast of Dcu's Lanterns, and is set to portray John Senior, the father of Aaron Pierre's character, John Stewart. John Senior is said to be the sort of parent who holds onto the past and is the definition of stubborn. His role will also be recurring, so viewers will see him often throughout the upcoming HBO drama series based on the DC Green Lantern comic. Augustus joins the show's stars, Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler (who will play Hal Jordan), and Kelly MacDonald, who signed on as the series' regular character Kerry (a sheriff who takes her job very seriously).
A team-up that involves a veteran and their new recruit will always be dramatic and action-packed with a splash of humor here and there.

Production is underway on Lanterns and P-Valley star J. Alphonse Nicholson is the latest addition to the show's cast. According to Deadline, he will play the father of Aaron Pierre's John Stewart.
However, it sounds like his scenes will primarily be flashbacks as the trade notes, "Nicholson will play the young version of John Senior." This comes shortly after we learned Nicole Ari Parker has been tapped to star as the Green Lantern's mother.
While Hal Jordan will also take centre stage in Lanterns, it's not surprising to learn that we'll explore John's background as he's expected to be the Dcu's main Green Lantern moving beyond this Max series.
Nicholson's other screen credits include Just Mercy, They Cloned Tyrone, Mr. Robot, Luke Cage, and Clipped. He reacted to his casting on social media and expressed gratitude for landing the role.

Here’s the long and short of it: Yes, Baby Billy’s 80-year-old penis was on full display during Sunday’s The Righteous Gemstones, but the package seen on screen did not belong to his 53-year-old portrayer, Walton Goggins.
“Let me be very clear – that’s not my penis,” Goggins declared earlier this month to a packed Hollywood crowd following a screening of Season 4’s revealing second episode, before asserting with a smirk, “My penis looks nothing like that whatsoever.”
