'Lanterns' Showrunner Maps Season 2 Before HBO Greenlight

Showrunner Chris Mundy told The Hollywood Reporter (19 August 2026) he and writer Christopher Cantwell are six weeks into planning a second season of HBO's 'Lanterns' — an eight-episode DC drama premiering on Max — though HBO has not officially greenlit Season 2. Co-creators Damon Lindelof and Tom King have moved on to separate series, leaving the mapping to Mundy and Cantwell.
