The highly anticipated new live-action "Green Lantern" series, "Lanterns," from "Ozark" showrunner Chris Mundy, surprisingly dropped its first trailer this morning. The series is slated to premiere on HBO this August. Interestingly, the trailer was originally scheduled for release tomorrow but was pushed forward after an early leak online.
"Lanterns" is positioned as a buddy detective series in the vein of "True Detective." The story follows a middle-aged Hal Jordan as he trains newly recruited John Stewart. Together, they investigate a murder case in the United States, which quickly pulls them into a larger, darker mystery unfolding on Earth.

The series features a stellar cast, including Kyle Chandler as Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aaron Pierre as Green Lantern John Stewart, and Ulrich Thomsen as Green Lantern Sinestro. The supporting cast also includes Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, William Macon, and Poorna Jagannathan, among others.
