The Lanterns TV series for Max that is set to be part of the rebooted DCU’s first batch of movies and shows is still alive, and now DC Studios’ creative overlord, James Gunn, has firmly confirmed the all-star group of writers that has cracked the story and the pilot episode.
Following reports that writers such as Tom King and Damon Lindelof were part of the writers’ room, Gunn took to Instagram (via Deadline) to confirm the news and previous rumors: “Yes, it’s true. The Lanterns DCU series is putting together a crack team of writers, based on a wonderful pilot script and bible by Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof,” the original post reads.
Chris Mundy is mostly known for his work on Ozark and True Detective: Night Country. Meanwhile, Tom King is one of the biggest names in the realm of DC comic books in recent years, with his work on Batman and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow being highlights; he’s also been part of the DCU’s earliest universe-building stages. As for Lindelof, he’s widely known for being one of the minds behind Lost and shepherding other major shows like HBO’s Watchmen and The Leftovers.
