DC Studios’ superhero series ‘Lanterns’ will not receive a second season, according to a Variety report, with a company insider suggesting the show failed to become a hit.

“People cannot wait to make another season of a hit show,” the insider said, pointing to the absence of a renewal announcement following the series finale on October 4.

The report comes amid major changes at DC Studios following the departure of co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. Incoming DC boss Jeremy Latcham is expected to oversee changes to the studio’s upcoming projects.

Although Variety described ‘Lanterns’ viewership as decent, the series reportedly failed to gain enough traction to secure a second season.

The show, starring Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, also struggled to maintain its position on streaming charts. It peaked at No. 7 on Nielsen’s streaming Top 10 before dropping out ahead of its finale.

HBO chief Casey Bloys had previously said a second season was not in development, while showrunner Chris Mundy said no official decision had been made following the finale.

However, the latest report suggests the series is unlikely to continue. Pierre is set to reprise his role as John Stewart in ‘Man of Tomorrow’, scheduled for release on July 9, 2027.
