WATCHMEN Season 2 Unlikely After Creator Damon Lindelof Declines To Return

Things are not looking to good for second season of HBO's acclaimed Watchmen TV series, as creator and writer Damon Lindelof has reportedly decided not to return to continue the story. More past the jump.

Bad news for fans of HBO's Watchmen, as it doesn't look like the acclaimed show is going to return for a second season.

HBO programming chief Casey Bloys told USA today earlier in the week that he'd be open to continuing the story if Damon Lindelof was back on board, and the Lost co-creator has now stated that he "told the story he wants to tell and has no interest in a second season." However, he has given his blessing to HBO should they decide to move forward with another writer-producer.

That doesn't seem likely, though, as Bloys responded that "it would be hard to imagine doing it without Damon involved in some way."

The season finale of Watchmen did wrap up the main story arc, but we were left wondering about the fate of our lead character. Did Angela Abar, aka Sister Night, inherit Doctor Manhattan's abilities? That may now be something that's destined to remain ambiguous.

What do you guys make of this news? Would you be very disappointed if Watchmen didn't return, or were you happy with the ending we got? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

@BlackBeltJones - If they want to keep it going, they should ditch the cast, leave that story finished and turn it into an anthology series, each season having a new cast and a new showrunner, while still giving the characters from previous seasons and the comic, occasional appearences and supporting roles. If it continues I say get Tim Kring

@dracula - lmao you didn’t even see the first season of watchmen, another season wouldn’t work at all if you saw how the first ended

@IcemanX - True, the rest of the shows didn't live up to it, but for the most part I thought it was good. Only part where I was taken out of it a bit was the first couple episodes of the Villains arc, the way things were brushed off. Although a part of the problem was probably the loss of the planned Exodus arc that was suppose to come after the Generations arc, dealing with the virus being unleashed

@tmp3 - They will make it work. You go full "woke" and say god or jesus was black & female then play along with that theme. Any sequel to a series is possible becuz money talks. There is def going to be a sequel, whether or not DL returns is another story.

Another showrunner will pick it up similar to what happened to Walking Dead. Don't forget, HBO Max is launching this summer and they are going to need subscribers.

Better to die a hero than to live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Wonder what HBO will have as a new flagship show to replace GOT.

Oh Watchmen we hardly knew ye. I’ll always remember the good times. You’ll be missed.

HBO definitely thought this would replace GOT.

Hope to god they don’t do it without Lindelof. They can’t really when you think about it.
