To those asking what True Detective has to do with a Green Lantern show, we have an answer. The show centers on a rookie Lantern, John Stewart (Aaron Piere), and a veteran, Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), investigating a murder in the American heartland. If you think about it, rings are a flat circle, too.

First, James Gunn’s Superman will feature Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner as one of its supporting heroes when it’s released onto the 2025 movies schedule this summer. Then in 2026, we’re getting the Green Lantern-focused series Lanterns will spotlight Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart.

The DC Studios show will see Fillion reprise the role of Guy Gardner, which he will play in this summer's Superman movie.
