Which actress plays John Stewart’s mother in Lanterns?

Nicole Ari Parker plays Bernadette Stewart, John Stewart’s mother, in Lanterns.

Bernadette is part of the Stewart family storyline, which gives the series a personal dimension beyond the Green Lantern investigation. The character is specifically identified as John Stewart’s mother.

Jasmine Cephas Jones portrays a younger version of Bernadette. The use of two performers reflects Lanterns’ multi-period structure, which connects events set in 2016 with a later storyline set in 2026.

Nicole Ari Parker joined the announced family cast alongside Sherman Augustus, who plays John Stewart Sr. The Stewart family material helps establish John’s history while he begins training under Hal Jordan.
