In which Nebraska county does most of the DC series Lanterns take place?

Most of the DC series Lanterns takes place in Sheridan County, Nebraska.

The series uses rural Nebraska as the main setting for its Earth-based mystery. Hal Jordan and John Stewart investigate a murder connected with Rushville, a fictionalized small-town setting in the state. The location gives the show a grounded American-heartland atmosphere despite the cosmic mythology of the Green Lantern Corps.

Lanterns is designed as a detective story rather than a conventional superhero adventure. The Nebraska setting supports that approach by placing powerful intergalactic law officers in a local investigation involving a close-knit community, a sheriff, and regional tensions. Some scenes also take place in Iowa, but Sheridan County is identified as the primary area.

This county should not be confused with the state where the series was filmed. Principal filming took place in Los Angeles, California, with locations and production design standing in for the Nebraska story world. The setting is therefore fictional in presentation even though Sheridan County is a real Nebraska county.
