Though it is only in the very early stages of development, that Watchmen TV series we first heard about last year is reportedly in the works at HBO.

Watchmen movie director Zack Snyder was originally involved with this small-screen adaptation, but it seems he is no longer attached. Instead, The Leftovers showrunner Damon Lindelof is poised to guide the project to fruition.

Though THR mentions that the show will be based on Alan Moore's original graphic novel, it's unclear whether it will be a direct adaptation of simply use certain elements to tell a new story. Could we see any of the recent Beyond Watchmen comic book series in there, perhaps?

We'll update as soon as we hear more, but for now let us know what you think of this news in the usual place.

With Damon Lindelof at the helm, it is by default gonna be shit. I also don't know why you'd even adapt this anymore since the movie gets all the big beats down.

Unless you're one of those people who's ass remains sore over the fact the squid was replaced, this has no reason to exist.

Personally, I'm all for this. The Leftovers was hit or miss, but season 2 was REALLY good.

Also, Watchmen would be a great fit for a miniseries and with a big budget (from someone like HBO). It could be great. I say let them fire away, even if it doesn't hit the mark, we've still got the pretty damn good Zack Snyder film.

Not really related to this per say, but I'm gonna try and look more into the whole Watchmen mystery in Rebirth. The Button, Doomsday Clock, etc.
