DC Studios has added Poorna Jagannathan to the cast of the upcoming Lanterns.

The cast of Lanterns has expanded once again, with Poorna Jagannathan (Never Have I Ever) being the latest addition. According to Deadline she will be playing a new character named Zoe. She is described as "effortlessly confident and poised in any setting, even those where she stands out. She is every bit as composed and cunning of the influential men around her."

She is also rumored to be a love interest for John Stewart.

Jagannathan is the fifth person to join the series, following Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Kelly Macdonald as Sheriff Kerry, and Garret Dillahunt as William Macon.

Emmy-nominee Chris Mundy (HBO’s True Detective: Night Country, Ozark) will be the showrunner and an executive producer on the project. Emmy-winner Damon Lindelof (HBO’s Watchmen and The Leftovers) and Eisner Award winner Tom King (Mister Miracle, Supergirl) will co-write the new series with Mundy. Lindelof and King will also serve as executive producers.

The official logline of the series says, “The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.”

Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content, said in a statement at the time of the series' announcement, “We are elated to be reuniting with both Chris Mundy and Damon Lindelof as they partner with Tom for this fresh take on DC’s Green Lantern. As part of James [Gunn] and Peter’s [Safran] vision for the DC Universe, this first new live-action series will mark an exciting new era.”

No release date has yet been announced for Lanterns.
