HBO won't pursue second season of 'Watchmen' after creator bows out

PASADENA, Calif. – "Watchmen" won a loyal following and critical acclaim, as the superhero comics series was adapted into a politically relevant drama about race and the criminal justice system.
But don't look for a second season of the drama, which wrapped up its nine-episode run last month, largely because creator Damon Lindelof isn't interested in doing it.
HBO programming chief Casey Bloys told USA TODAY Wednesday that Lindelof, the co-creator of ABC's "Lost" who also created HBO's "The Leftovers," "brilliantly took this graphic novel and just kind of broke it open and created a whole new world," in which Regina King starred as a masked cop in Tulsa, in a 2019 when Robert Redford is president.

Lindelof told USA TODAY this week that he's told the story he wants to tell and has no interest in a second season, though he's "given my blessing" to HBO should it want to pursue a new installment with another writer-producer.
But Bloys concedes that's unlikely to happen: "It would be hard to imagine doing it without Damon involved in some way."
Sorry, fans, but the season-ending cliffhanger will likely never be resolved.

Not a surprise. He’s said this the entire time he didn’t want to do a second season
? That wasn’t something that was ever going to be resolved

Damon Lindelof introducing plot lines and mysteries he never intends to resolve?
What a shock.

I bowed out after the first episode. Life's too short.

It was one of the very few shows i just quit watching after 4 episodes.
Good call HBO get something decent in that slot

No great loss, the show sucked anyway.

No more Wokemen? Oh noes!

Betcha tree fiddy Lindelof is “inspired” with an idea for a 2nd season in a year or so, and everybody comes back. First season was a blast.

It wasn't a cliffhanger. Season was designed as a stand-alone.

So .... "bad white man, good black woman, conflicted bi black man" isn't a big ratings or subscription winner?
Go figure.
That's what happens when you make the protagonist a bi black man banging white caped crusading cuck up the pooper.
Times certainly are a changin.
HBO can foad.

i found this show to be incredibly boring

It’s hilarious how much that show triggered the baws.

Agreed. Anyone that thought the “cliffhanger” would need to be resolved obviously never read the series. Or if they did, they completely missed the tone

I never really got into it. Wasn’t familiar with the source material.
