What is the listed running time for each episode of the DC series Lanterns?

Each episode of the DC series Lanterns has a listed running time of 52–57 minutes. That range places the program in the hour-long drama category, with enough space for its investigation, character relationships, and science-fiction elements.

The series was designed as an Earth-based detective story rather than the space opera originally envisioned for an earlier version of the Green Lantern project. Its format supports that grounded approach while still allowing the story to explore the Green Lantern Corps and wider DC Universe mythology.

The runtime is a range, not a single fixed duration. Individual episodes can vary slightly because of differences in story length, credits, and the amount of material needed for each chapter.

Lanterns has eight episodes in its first season. It airs on HBO and is also available through the service's streaming ecosystem, giving the series a traditional premium-cable home with streaming access.
