Lindelof and HBO's adaptation of Watchmen has begun and is currently on-going. The nine-episode series is a
sequel to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ original 1985 comic which was adapted
into a film by Zack Snyder back in 2009. In talking to the press Lindelof said the new series was designed specifically to be
a self-contained single-season and a second season isn’t ruled out but there are
no plans or even rough ideas for one. When asked by Deadline how many seasons
does he plan for the series to go, he responded: “I’m not being flippant when I
say that the answer is one. Does that mean that there isn’t going to be anymore
Watchmen? Not necessarily. Does that mean that I will be working on subsequent
seasons of Watchmen? I don’t know is the answer to that question. We designed
these nine episodes to be as self-contained as the original 12 issues. We wanted
to feel like there was a sense of completeness, to resolve the essential mystery
at hand. Obviously, there is a potential promise for the further exploration of
the world but like the seasons of Leftovers that I did as opposed to Lost, which
was designed to have cliffhanger finales and a promise of future storytelling.”
Because the series took a lot of work establishing what happened after the end
of the original story there was no consideration paid to what could follow what
we will see.
