HBO Max’s sci-fi crime drama series “Lanterns” reveals the identity of the Manhunter in its fourth episode. Multiple outlets report that the episode resolves the long-running mystery by pinpointing which resident of Rushville is behind the Manhunter persona.
Both sources focus on the same key development: the episode’s ending confirms the suspected culprit and closes out the question viewers have been asking since earlier installments. TechRadar frames the moment as an “ending explained” reveal, emphasizing the information viewers needed to identify the character behind the Manhunter. Mashable similarly centers on episode 4, but highlights it in terms of the show’s clues—summarizing the biggest hints that lead up to the final confirmation.
While the outlets approach the news differently—one explaining the end state and the other pointing to earlier hints—their coverage converges on the same point: episode 4 provides the answer to who the Manhunter is, as well as why that identity has been set up across prior episodes.
