Market rules
Yes — if by 31.12.2026 21:00 UTC HBO (or Warner Bros. Discovery / DC Studios) officially announces the renewal of the series Lanterns for a second season, and it is confirmed by a publication on https://deadline.com/tag/lanterns/. No — if there is no official renewal, an announcement of the show's cancellation, or only reports of negotiations without studio confirmation. Verification at 31.12.2026 21:00 UTC. Edge cases: statements from actors, screenwriters, or producers without an official announcement do not count; an announcement of a spin-off or a separate project under a different title does not count; if the publication of the news is delayed, the date of the announcement itself is considered, not the date of the article.
