So you’re gonna need me all day.’ And he was immediately like, ‘Oh, thank God.
Watchmen. “I just think it’s gonna take time to say what Season 2 would be.”Lindelof has been definitive that just as the “Watchmen” novel tells a contained story, so should this season. The series built on the foundation of the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, but expanded its template with new characters that brought the story into the present day.In addition to rave reviews the series garnered a number of accolades, including a spot on the HBO estimated that episodes were watched by more than 7 million viewers on average across its various linear and digital platforms.

Damon Lindelof, Regina King, and the directors of HBO's "Watchmen" talk about the biggest risks and challenges of the first season. I did not have anyone in mind.

“It was not a long meeting. After recruiting his uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) and childhood friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett) to join him, the trio sets out for “Ardham,” MA, where they think Montrose may have gone looking for insight into Atticus’ late mother’s ancestry. And I feel like if anything, the challenge of doing ‘Watchmen’ as a straight-up adaptation in the body of a three-hour movie is near impossible, and he did about as good of a job as anyone can.”Kassell was similarly horrified to learn that anyone thought she was actively satirizing Snyder’s “Watchmen.” For one, she deliberately chose not to watch it.
'”“His confidence left no room for doubt,” Lindelof says of Williams’ approach. And I experienced the wonder and thrill of that epiphany. “I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a second season of ‘Watchmen,’ and I’m not even saying that that season shouldn’t feature some of the characters in this season of ‘Watchmen.’ I just don’t know what it should be.”It appears we’ll all just have to wait. It just seemed like tumblers falling into place.”Indeed, Hooded Justice’s origin story on HBO’s “Watchmen” feels so obvious in retrospect — his costume includes a conspicuous noose hanging around his neck, for crying out loud — that it can feel a bit like Lindelof crawled inside Moore’s brain. Everything that we shot is on screen, is going to air.”Lindelof read “Watchmen” as a young teenager when it first debuted as a series of individual issues over the course of 1986. Cal’s wife Angela, however, does know, but King was also kept in the dark during the pilot. “My understanding of the process as a director, it allowed Stephen to be able to communicate what his plan was very easily,” she says. There’s nothing more engaging than an unanswered mystery.”So when Lindelof finally agreed to consider HBO’s multiple entreaties to make a “Watchmen” TV series — an act he knew to be of enormous hubris, especially given Moore’s steadfast displeasure at any attempt to adapt his work — he thought, why not lean into that?“What would be the most offensive thing to do, like what’s the greatest act of hubris?” Lindelof says. “We just really focused in on his personality,” says Kassell. “So that by the time we actually went into production with our cast, we had a solid visual template that we were using as the basis for actually executing the episode for real,” he says.While Williams says he didn’t really seek out Lindelof or HBO’s blessing to pre-shoot the episode, Lindelof says he was aware of Williams’ decision to do it, and why it was necessary.“It required a certain degree in evangelism on Stephen’s part, convincing the 250 people around him that this was not only possible but something worthy of getting excited about,” he says.One person who didn’t take any convincing: King.
