HBO's 'Lanterns' on Renewal Bubble Before September Premiere

HBO's DC series 'Lanterns' premieres September 2026 on HBO Max, but its second season is already undecided. Per Variety (15 August 2026), audience reaction to the premiere will determine whether early Season 2 talks become an official pickup — meaning the show is on the bubble, with a renewal still unconfirmed, before a single episode has aired.
