'Lanterns' Episode 7 Release Date and Time: When the Penultimate Chapter Drops on HBO Max

The penultimate Lanterns episode is almost here

We are only a few days from Lanterns' second-to-last episode. As TechRadar's Tom Power detailed, the DCU crime drama's next chapter, in which John Stewart teams with the 'Hal-O-Gram' (a digital back-up of Hal Jordan's consciousness) to keep investigating the real Hal's apparent murder, is due out shortly.

Release date and time

HBO's Green Lantern show returns with its next installment, titled 'The Jordan Boys Legacy,' in the US and Canada on Sunday, September 27 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET. As with every prior episode, it arrives a day later outside North and South America. Regional times: US and Canada, Sunday Sept 27, 6pm PT / 9pm ET; UK, Monday Sept 28, 2am BST; India, Monday Sept 28, 6:30am IST; Singapore, 9am SGT; Australia, 11am AEST; New Zealand, 1pm NZST.

Where to watch

All episodes of Lanterns air on HBO Max in regions where the platform is available. Because HBO Max has not launched everywhere, viewing options vary: US, HBO and HBO Max; Canada, Crave; UK, HBO Max, Sky Atlantic, and Now TV; India, JioHotstar; Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand, HBO Max.

The finale, and what's left

Only two episodes remain. Assuming HBO keeps the schedule, they continue to air Sundays in the Americas and Mondays elsewhere. Episode 7 lands September 27/28, and the finale (episode 8) follows on October 4/5. For a hit that has blended cosmic Green Lantern lore with a grounded murder mystery, the endgame is nearly here.

What to expect in 'The Jordan Boys Legacy'

The big hook heading into the penultimate chapter is the Hal-O-Gram, a digital back-up of Hal Jordan's consciousness that John Stewart can now consult as he closes in on the truth behind the real Hal's apparent murder. It sets up a pointed question: will John get along any better with this copy of Hal than he did with the flesh-and-blood original who spent 2016 making his life difficult? With the season's dual-timeline mystery converging, episode 7 is positioned to pay off threads the series has been seeding since the premiere before the finale wraps the first chapter of the story.

Why the timing matters

Lanterns has been a weekly appointment for DCU fans, and because HBO Max still is not available in every region, the exact drop time varies enough that many viewers plan around it to dodge spoilers. Bookmark the regional breakdown above so you catch 'The Jordan Boys Legacy' as it goes live rather than after social media does the reveal for you.
