As various DC film and television projects continue to face cancellation, Berlanti Productions’ Green Lantern series for HBO Max is reportedly still moving forward.

Green Lantern was announced in 2019, at the same time as the now-canceled Strange Adventures series. Despite Strange Adventures never making it past the development stage, progress is apparently still being made on Green Lantern.

The Green Lantern series is set to focus on multiple Green Lanterns including Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Alan Scott.

A report from THR reveals sources close to the project have said progress is still being made on the series, which is yet to receive a release date. It is the most expensive series ever to be produced by Berlanti Productions, the company that previously spearheaded The CW’s “Arrowverse” DC shows.

Greg Berlanti of Berlanti Productions previously co-wrote 2011’s big-screen Green Lantern. Warner Bros. Discovery will be hoping the new series performs significantly better with audiences than the movie, which has been considered one of DC’s biggest flops.

The Strange Adventures series that was announced alongside Green Lantern was reportedly quietly scrapped ahead of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger and has not been dropped as part of the DC cull that has affected projects like Batgirl.
