Los Angeles [US], November 16 : Indian-origin actor Poorna Jagannathan is all set to join the cast of HBO's 'Lanterns'.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Poorna will have a recurring part in the show from DC Studios and Warner Bros. TV.

Lanterns is based on DC's long-running Green Lantern comics and stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as, respectively, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two of the best-known characters in the comics' long history. HBO picked up Lanterns to series in June after years of start-and-stop development.
