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.
quote:

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

Damon Lindelof introducing plot lines and mysteries he never intends to resolve?

Doesn’t really apply to watchmen.

They answer 99.99 percent of the it. The one they mention in the article isn’t really that big of a cliff hanger

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.

Duh. Because my comment was about a show getting canceled in a thread about that show getting canceled.


Bummer a show you enjoyed got canceled you dont need to lash out at others.

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