It’s too woke.

The Skydance owners will create The White Heterosexual Cis Male Conservative Lantern TV series to take its place.

    If I wanted to be generous (I don't), I'd say it's because they want to scrap Gunn's project. Realistically, we all know your comment is the real reason. John Stewart's popular, but always gets shifted to the side (he's not the only lantern to have that issue when you have a bazillion greens, but aside from maybe Jessica Cruz, he's the only popular one to get shafted).

    I do think the Gunn DC universe stuff was overrated, so I'm not surprised they're out. I enjoyed Lanterns, but didn't like returning to an era where the hero can't even wear his costume.

    This merger is so painful for me. DC comics were on a roll, and now they're going to tear the whole thing down, again. If they're killing Lanterns, then at this rate they might just hire DiDio and Dixon back to make DC great again.

    I was really looking forward to more of it.

    I guess with DC if it is not supes, bats, or joker they do not care about it.

    Too bad, if true. I enjoyed the first season.

    “Lanterns,” their first live-action TV show, had posted decent viewership. Yet an insider at the company suggests the crime drama isn’t quite capturing the zeitgeist, pointing out the show didn’t get renewed for a second season.

    Not sure if the title changed but technically that doesn't confirm it isn't renewed, just that it hasn't been renewed yet. The show had a writers room for season two, which means someone was planning on a season two.

    I do think we're not getting a season 2, but I don't think it's a given yet. It doesn't fit the "family friendly" vibe that it looks like the new guy is aiming for, but it's only been a day so we'll wait and see.

    I didn't watch it but my friend thinks [older guy] was way more charismatic than they planned and any season 2 they had planned has to be redone

    He was very unhappy with the ending. He wants me to watch it so he didn't tell me why but I'm inclined to think

    Tap for spoilerold guy was supposed to die but they didn't kill him because fans loved him

    This is 100% a political move.
