Meanwhile Vanity Fair dropped some information about the show in a recent article. Here’s what showrunner Chris Mundy had to tell the trade.

“Our Lanterns have the rings and all the power they bring, and other characters and aspects of the lore are going to show up or be name-checked, but it’s a series that explores who these guys are when they’re on the job and when they’re out of uniform.”
“It’s designed to be accessible for people who don’t know the mythology, but hopefully really satisfying for people that know it backwards and forwards. We’re not part of a larger storytelling plan right now. Season one is designed to be its own, complete season of television that, hopefully, will become many seasons of television.”
I’m looking forward to this and Peacemaker Season 2. However….James, you need to sort out distribution in the U.K. please. I still cannot legally watch Creature Commandos and with all these big series coming it’s a concern. I was lucky enough The Penguin was broadcast same time as US over here. Yet, there appears no guarantees of Peacemaker and Lanterns being the same.
