While HBO’s “Lanterns” hasn’t yet scored a second season renewal, one could be on the way depending on how things go in the writers’ room, according to DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran.

While he didn’t confirm an exact date fans can expect an announcement to come on, Safran did note that news on whether “Lanterns” will get a second season should arrive “before the end of the year” in a recent interview with Collider. Safran also noted that Season 2 would need to be up to par with Season 1, which enjoyed a massively successful premiere and run. “If we’re able to come up with what we believe to be a worthy successor to a beloved and great first season, that’s what’s going to dictate whether there’s a second season,” he said.
