The DC Universe is ever-growing, and one of its most beloved animated shows is getting a spin-off. My Adventures With Superman has been a fan favorite for three seasons, and now fans get to meet Jessica Cruz (Auliʻi Cravalho) as a student at Hal Jordan Memorial High School, where she is chosen to be a member of the Lantern Corps in My Adventures With Green Lantern. Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with co-Chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios, Peter Safran, who gave an update on the series, as well as how it is similar (and different) to My Adventures With Superman.
My Adventures With Superman takes audiences into the world of the Daily Planet with Clark (Jack Quaid) and fans get to see as he falls in love with Lois Lane (Alice Lee) and works with Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid). The grounded yet incredibly sweet show is, for some, an introduction to Superman’s life outside of his superhero work. My Adventures With Green Lantern intends to deliver a similar concept, but with Jessica Cruz this time, a beloved member of the Green Lantern Corps.
The show itself is still a ways away from fans seeing it, but the DC Studios co-CEO gave Collider a bit of an update on the series. Safran told Weintraub that the show would have “10 half-hour episodes,” similar to that of My Adventures With Superman. Similarly as well, the series will be “tonally” in line with the series. When asked how the series compares to its predecessor, Safran told Collider:
“Tonally similar. Obviously, thematically very different because it’s dealing with different characters and different lore, but the things that I loved so much about My Adventures with Superman are firmly in My Adventures with Green Lantern. We’re in the stages of reviewing animatics and animation on that right now.”

Part of what makes My Adventures with Superman so special is that it allows fans to spend more time with Clark and Lois, which is unique to the show but still the core of what makes this dynamic so special. In theory, the same will happen with Jessica Cruz when we get to meet her. After the success of the show Lanterns, it is the perfect time to learn more about the Green Lanterns of Earth and the legendary Jessica Cruz.
While we wait for more on My Adventures With Green Lantern, you can catch up on My Adventures With Superman on HBO Max. Stay tuned at Collider for more.
