Days of Our Lives Star Cary Christopher Joins HBO DC Lanterns Series

The upcoming HBO Max series Lanterns, based on DC Comics' Green Lantern, has added young actor Cary Christopher to its star-studded cast. Christopher, known for his role as Thomas DiMera on Days of Our Lives and a Daytime Emmy nominee, will play Young Noah, a polite and gifted small-town football player with special abilities. The eight-episode series, set to premiere in 2026, follows veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and rookie John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they investigate a murder in Nebraska, blending grounded crime storytelling with sci-fi elements. Produced by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, with James Hawes directing the first two episodes, the show features a notable supporting cast including Nathan Fillion, Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, and Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro. Production is progressing rapidly, with filming underway and Thomsen having completed his scenes. Christopher’s casting adds a promising young talent to the project, which is highly anticipated within the DC Universe television slate.
