The first season finds Earth’s first Green Lantern Hal Jordan and his trainee trying to solve a series of murders in small-town America they are suspicious is actually the work of aliens.
Here’s everything you need to know about where and when to tune in for the first season of HBO’s “Lanterns.”
The first season of “Lanterns” premieres on Sunday, Aug. 16.
“Lanterns” Season 1 airs on HBO Sunday nights and will be available to stream on HBO Max simultaneously with its 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT air time.
New episodes of “Lanterns” will release weekly for the duration of the season on HBO. The episodes will be available to stream on HBO Max in tandem with the premiere on the channel. Here is the full rundown:
The first season of “Lanterns” follows Hal Jordan years after he took on the powers of a Green Lantern, as he is saddled with training his future replacement, John Stewart. The pair get pulled to the middle of the country to investigate a series of small-town murders that Hal is convinced is the work of aliens.

More than 70 years after her onscreen breakout, Audrey Hepburn‘s legacy is an indomitable Hollywood presence to attempt to recreate onscreen.
With upcoming films starring Lilly Collins and Thomasin McKenzie as the late 2x Oscar winner, Hepburn’s sons recently shared their curiosity about the upcoming projects, with Sean Hepburn Ferrer revealing his work with Collins on her portrayal.
“We’ve had several talks about it, and I’ve told her that I think she should do something,” Sean told People. “I’ve suggested several things to Lily that have made her giggle and laugh.”
In February, Collins signed on to play Audrey Hepburn in Sam Wasson’s bestselling book Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman, which documented the making of 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Sean added, “I’ve known Natalie Portman since she was 14 and she’s a fantastic person. I’m close to Rooney Mara [once attached to a Luca Guadagnino-helmed biopic about Hepburn], who’s also a delightful girl. But Lily is something special.”

With McKenzie playing Hepburn in Dinner with Audrey, which premiered at Cannes in May, about her longtime friendship with designer Count Hubert de Givenchy (Ansel Elgort), Sean noted, “I don’t know much about the project, but it sounds sweet. McKenzie seems like a very serious young actress. I’ve got my fingers crossed.”
Hepburn’s younger son Luca Dotti agreed, “I’m a curious bystander and I would love to see it.”
“[Collins] has forever been named as a possible successor of my mother, because of her looks and her talents, and Emily in Paris, and because of the fashion,” he added.
Known for her roles in Roman Holiday (1953), Sabrina (1954), Funny Face (1957), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) and My Fair Lady (1964), as well as her years of humanitarian work as a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF, Audrey Hepburn died of cancer at age 63 in 1993.

Happy new week, fellow cinephile! Looking for some new ideas on what to watch? You’re in the right spot.
As always, our recommendation includes a gem that you’ve definitely seen plenty of times before, and gives you an easy validation for rewatching it. But this week, we’re also recommending a few dramedy films that maybe you haven’t seen before, and really should (at least once, anyway).
Here are the three best movies to watch on Prime Video this week.

“Late Bloomers” may not always stick the landing in what it tries to do, but it’s still sweet and clearly well-intentioned.
Karen Gillan (yes, “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Doctor Who” Karen Gillan) stars as Louise, a somewhat aimless almost-30-year-old who’s pretty well depressed, but won’t admit to it. When she drunkenly breaks her hip, she finds herself in physical therapy with women who are much, much older, and actually prone to that kind of injury.
Among them is Antonina, a grumpy old woman who speaks no English. Despite the language barrier, Louise lands a job caring for her, and the two develop an odd, irreverent-but-sweet friendship.
It’s worth seeing at least once, and a good reminder of how naturally goofy Gillan can be. Her comedy chops are too under-appreciated.

It’s sexy, it’s cute, it’s popular to boot! It’s also a pretty good movie to watch alone or with kids (depending on the age of said kids) as the school year begins to start up again.
Kirsten Dunst stars as Torrance, a cheerleader who dreams of little more than being a cheerleader. She’s made captain of her squad this year, and that means she’s got to be the one to lead them to nationals and continue their winning streak. A wrench is whipped into that plan though, when a new student and cheerleader, opens Torrance’s eyes to the fact that every single one of her team’s cheers is stolen.
Not only are they stolen, but they’re stolen from a lower-income school, and from a team that primarily consists of students of color. So not only is “Bring It On” a fun teen movie, it’s also a very real lesson in appropriation.

We’ve known that Keanu Reeves can make just about any role work, but man, he really soars as an angel who is desperate to make an impact in “Good Fortune.”
That angel is Gabriel, who typically just handles saving people who are texting and driving. But, after seeing the life-changing impact a fellow angel has saving lost souls, Gabriel wants a promotion. To attain that, he goes a bit rogue, and basically pulls a “Freaky Friday” between a struggling gig worker (Aziz Ansari) and his rich boss (Seth Rogen).
It uh, doesn’t go great, as Ansari’s character loves his new life, refusing to learn the lesson Gabriel was trying to teach. As a result, Gabriel loses his wings, and must work with Rogen’s character to get things back to normal.
“Good Fortune” is streaming on Prime Video on Aug. 21.

Josh D’Amaro attended his first D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event as CEO of the Walt Disney Company, having succeeded Bob Iger five months ago.
On Day 3 of the Disney event, D’Amaro had a sit down with Ginnifer Goodwin where he opened up about the future of Disney and how it’s been for him as the new CEO of the company.
For starters, the executive says “it’s still strange” for people to refer to him as CEO “because I’ve been here for 30 years,” adding, “I started at an entry-level position at Disneyland in 1998.”
“I loved Disney growing up,” he said. “I visited the parks with my family. I remember those moments so clearly. They truly have stuck with me. I’ve been a fan first for my entire life, and then to come and actually work for the company — the moment I got inside the walls, it’s cool to be working for Disney.”
D’Amaro gave a shoutout to the cast members and “the leaders behind the scenes,” who “care about this place, care about the company, care about the fans in a real, genuine way. To be here at D23, it takes a lot of work to pull an event like this, but to see the fandom, to see the rewards of all the hard work that’s been put into making these places and making these stories as special as they are, there’s nothing like it.”
In terms of opportunities that D’Amaro considers for the future of the company he said there are several important things that are important to him at the highest level.
“First is that we are a company that tells the world’s best stories, and we will never — I will never relent on that,” he explained. “So, making sure that we’re making great films like Zootopia, making sure that we’re making the next attraction that just blows people away, the next Broadway show that pulls people in. As simple as it sounds, that has to be the focus of all leaders, quite frankly, at the Disney Company.”
D’Amaro also pointed that currently the industry is at the “intersection of technology and media,” adding, “I don’t think it’s ever been more relevant and more powerful. And this company, the Walt Disney Company, has always thrived in these moments, all the way back to to Walt as he was thinking about film and how to change how films are made, or Disneyland and animatronics.”
He continued, “We’re in this moment where I want to push in to the technology that’s available to us, marry it with this beautiful story making, and push the company forward.”
Lastly, D’Amaro noted that the Walt Disney Company is an accumulation of different things, wether it’s ESPN, a streamer, a theme park, and a film producer.
“We’re the Walt Disney Company, and for anyone that’s looking around contextually at the entertainment landscape right now, it kind of looks like people are trying to look like Disney,” he said. “They’ll try to buy some of this stuff and that stuff. And for us, we have all of that. We have the the best IP in the world. We have the best collection of businesses in the world. We have scale around the globe like nobody else has, and we have talent that everyone wishes they had. So if we now pull this whole company together in one, and show up as one company wherever that is-Disney+, or in a theme park, or at a place like D23-no one can compete with us. There’s nothing like the Walt Disney Company where we can operate as one.”
