We're officially a quarter of the way through Lanterns' first season — and, judging by the sheer volume of discussions I've seen online about it, millions are really enjoying the DC Universe's (DCU) latest TV show.

If you're among that number, you'll want to know when the sci-fi crime drama's next chapter, titled 'OutKast', will hit a streaming platform near you. This week's entry will fill us in on John Stewart's upbringing and apparent 'chosen one' status as a future Green Lantern, too, so you definitely won't want to miss it.

So, here's when and where you can watch Lanterns episode 3.
