Has Lanterns season 2 been announced?
Not yet. However, fan hopes are growing over season 2 due to the show's impressive viewership and a report that four new individuals to come up with ideas for season 2.
That said, there's no guarantee that will get a second season. Indeed, earlier in September, HBO boss Casey Bloys made me fear the worst for season 2 when he indicated that only one DCU TV show — spin-off The People v Gorilla Grodd — was the only one in active development.
Indeed, speaking to Vanity Fair in February 2025, Mundy said he hoped that he hoped "more seasons" would be made. Meanwhile, Gunn recently confirmed (via Threads) that 'Dirt and Stars' is this season's finale, rather than the show's final-ever episode. With Lanterns also amassing an average 19 million viewers per episode during its season 1 run (per Variety), it's a case of when, not if, the DCU program is renewed for another outing.
For now, we know that John Stewart will make his next DCU appearance in Man of Tomorrow, aka Gunn's sequel. While you're here, find out more on what we know so far about Man of Tomorrow and then get the full lowdown on The People v Gorilla Grodd.
