The DCU's new show Lanterns has been airing weekly as it introduces viewers to the world of the Green Lantern Corps. The latest episode dove a bit deeper into John Stewart's background as we found out how he became Hal Jordan's second-in-command.
And with a murder mystery ongoing and a Manhunter hiding in plain sight, the remainder of the season has a lot of unanswered questions, so you'll likely want to know when the next episode is out. This is where we come in. Below, we've rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch the new DCU Chapter One show, including when it drops, the number of episodes, and how to stream them.
This means you won't miss a moment of the series, which is the only way to guarantee a spoiler-free experience. If that wasn't enough, once you're up to speed, check out our list of every Green Lantern in Lanterns so far and our running theories on who killed Hal Jordan.

Where to watch Lanterns and episode count
Lanterns is available on HBO and HBO Max in the US. In the UK, you have even more options: HBO Max (which has now launched in the country), NOW TV, and Sky Atlantic are your streaming destinations for new episodes of Lanterns.
Lanterns is eight episodes long, matching most of HBO's recent shorter output. Fun fact: it's been almost 15 years since the last HBO season had 12 or more episodes.
Is Lanterns in the DCU?
Yes, it is! James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU began with Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, and Supergirl. Lanterns is next up, though we anticipate John Stewart's story will continue in next year's Man of Tomorrow movie now that Aaron Pierre has been confirmed to join that cast.
