The figure makes \u2018Lanterns\u2019 the biggest premiere for a DC Studios series on HBO Max so far, while also placing it among the platform\u2019s five biggest premieres overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performance gives the Green Lantern series an impressive early start, although it has not yet surpassed the longer-term audience figures achieved by other DC productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018The Penguin\u2019, for example, reached 10.4 million viewers across all platforms within its first 11 days when it premiered in 2024. Meanwhile, \u2018It: Welcome to Derry\u2019 attracted 5.7 million viewers during its first three days last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on DC\u2019s \u2018Green Lantern\u2019 comics, \u2018Lanterns\u2019 stars Aaron Pierre as new recruit John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as veteran Lantern Hal Jordan. The pair investigate a murder in the American heartland, uncovering a mystery with intergalactic implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eight-episode series was created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King, with James Hawes directing its first two episodes. The series is produced by HBO alongside Warner Bros.
