The eight-episode series premieres on HBO on Aug. 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe show stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, a veteran Green Lantern, and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Jordan\u2019s protege who is learning the ropes. The heroes have magical rings that allow them to create any object imaginable out of green light. They patrol the galaxy and keep peace as members of the Green Lantern Corps. In \u201cLanterns,\u201d the two outer space cops get called into rural Nebraska for a mysterious murder, which may have connections to dangerous extraterrestrials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe cast includes Kelly Macdonald, Laura Linney, Paula Patton, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Nicole Ari Parker, Jason Ritter, Sherman Augustus, Paul Ben-Victor and Ulrich Thomsen as the classic Green Lantern villain Sinestro. Nathan Fillion, who played Green Lantern member Guy Gardner in last year\u2019s \u201cSuperman\u201d and its upcoming sequel \u201cMan of Tomorrow,\u201d will be back in \u201cLanterns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe new trailer revealed the first look at Sinestro, who has a complicated past with Jordan. In the comics, Sinestro was a former Green Lantern and mentor figure to Jordan, but the red-skinned alien flips and becomes one of Jordan\u2019s greatest villains. He later becomes a Yellow Lantern, an opposing space group who uses fear to power their magical rings. There\u2019s also a cameo from Guy Gardner, plus it\u2019s revealed that the murder mystery surrounds the Manhunters, a race of aliens who can shape-shift and look like anyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cLanterns\u201d is created by Tom King, Damon Lindelof and showrunner Chris Mundy. They also serve as executive producers alongside DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. \u201cLanterns\u201d joins \u201cCreature Commandos\u201d and \u201cPeacemaker\u201d as fellow shows in the rebooted DC Universe. Up next for the DCU is this fall\u2019s body-horror movie \u201cClayface,\u201d starring Tom Rhys Harries as the classic Batman villain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWatch the trailer below.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HBO\u2019s upcoming DC Studios drama \u201cLanterns\u201d got a new trailer for the Green Lantern-inspired mystery at San Diego&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":782781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,122320],"class_list":["post-782780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-lanterns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=782780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/782781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=782780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=782780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=782780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
