In an interview back in January, HBO Max Head of Original Content Sarah Aubrey confirmed that the upcoming Green Lantern tv show would span multiple time periods. ""It’s going to span several decades on focus on two stories about Green Lanterns on Earth," said Aubrey while also confirming that the series would also touch on Sinestro's role in the Corps.
While that means this latest report from The Direct isn't exactly breaking new ground, the site does provide a smattering of new details. It seems two periods covered in the show will be the 1940s and 1980s- with the first Green Lantern Alan Scott operating during the events of World War II and the invention of the microwave while Guy Gardner's story will be set during the time of Reagan and MTV.
That leaves time periods for Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz, though a safe bet would say that the two (who have more recently been operating as a duo in the pages of DC Comics) will have their story set in modern times.
It was confirmed last month that HBO Max has committed to a 10 one-hour episode first season that will start shooting in 2021 for a 2022 debut. Scott, Gardner, Baz and Cruz are set to be the focal points of the series with Sinestro and Killowag also appearing. The more popular Green Lanterns Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner are seemingly being kept out of the series for potential debut in a WB film adaptation.
