Damon Lindelof's new series, Watchmen, is a fresh take on the classic graphic novel, set to premiere on HBO in 2019. While it draws from the original DC Comics characters, it is not a direct adaptation of Alan Moore's work. Lindelof describes his version as a remix, maintaining some characters but introducing new elements. The series features a notable cast including Regina King and Jeremy Irons. Lindelof addressed fans and Alan Moore in an open letter, expressing respect for Moore's work while explaining his creative choices. The series is produced by Lindelof's White Rabbit company in collaboration with Warner Brothers.
