The series follows a young John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and a veteran Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) as they get caught up in a dark, Earth-bound mystery while investigating a murder in the heart of the U.S. It is speculated that the victim will be a member of the Green Lantern Corps, a kind of galactic police force, and that this is how Stewart will receive the ring that gives members of the group the power to create objects made of green light.

The series cast also includes Garrett Dillahunt (No Country for Old Men), Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire), Cary Chrisopher (Weapons) and Paula Patton (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), as well as Ulrich Thomsen as the villain Sinestro.

Nathan Fillion will appear as Guy Gardner, one of the Green Lanterns — a role he has already played on the big screen in Superman. With eight episodes confirmed, the production is led by Damon Lindelof (Lost, Watchmen), Chris Mundy (Ozark) and Tom King.
