HBO’s long-awaited Green Lantern series is currently in production, and it seems filming is moving forward smoothly without any major hiccups. 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. The True Detective-inspired show follows two Green Lanterns investigating a murder mystery in America’s heartland, which could have major repercussions for the rest of the DCU.
During an interview with Forbes, Jason Ritter, who plays Billy Macon in Lanterns, revealed the current production status for the upcoming HBO series. He confirmed that Lanterns was halfway through filming its first season, with four episodes completed thus far. Additionally, he reveals that it is a “really well-written, really fun show,” the latter of which is in contrast to how the grounded sci-fi drama has been described thus far.
Ritter joins a star-studded cast in Lanterns that also includes Pierre as John Stewart, Chandler as Hal Jordan, Ulrich Thomsen (The Blacklist) as Sinestro, Kelly Macdonald (Trainspotting) as Kerry, Garret Dillahunt (Raising Hope) as William Macon, and Poorna Jagannathan (The Night Of).
