Kyle Chandler is trading “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose” for “in brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight” as he’s being tapped to slip on a ring and play Hal Jordan in the HBO DC Lanterns series.

Chandler is primarily known for playing Coach Taylor on Friday Night Lights but has also starred in films like Super 8, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Zero Dark Thirty, The Wolf of Wall Street, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong. He’s also been part of shows such as Super Pumped, Star Wars: Visions, Blood Line, Grey’s Anatomy, and more.

Lanterns is going straight to series and comes from Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelöf, and Tom King. The trio are co-writing and executive producing the series, with Mundy serving as the showrunner.

The show is still casting for other roles and looking for directors, looking to begin shooting in January. In June it was announced the show was going straight to series for eight episodes.

The series focuses on Jordan who will mentor John Stewart. The two will investigate an Earth-bound murder with larger implications.
