Lanterns | Episode 8 Preview | HBO Max
A new video on HBO Max usually has a modest first day, somewhere under twenty thousand views. The preview for episode eight of Lanterns did not follow that pattern. It came close to a million views within a day, moving about 85 times faster than a typical debut on the channel. The channel as a whole had a fairly ordinary day, so this one clip stood out from everything around it.
Episode eight is the season finale, which the description says arrives Sunday night. Lanterns is the DC Studios series about the Green Lantern Corps, with Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. It is set on Earth and styled more as a detective story than a space epic.
The preview's tagline, "Don't be afraid — to be afraid," plays on the heart of the Green Lantern myth, where the ring answers to the willpower to overcome fear. The channel has gone green in its own way, too: its about section is just one line declaring green its new favorite color.
