ABOUT Watchmen

Last Updated : 06 Mar 2025
HBO's Watchmen, a 2019 limited series, serves as a sequel to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' 1986 comic book. Created by Damon Lindelof, the show acts as a "remix," introducing new characters and conflicts within the established continuity rather than a reboot. The series features an ensemble cast including Regina King, Don Johnson, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Set in present-day Tulsa, Oklahoma, the narrative revolves around racial tensions and the resurgence of a white supremacist group, the Seventh Kavalry. Detective Angela Abar, also known as Sister Night (King), investigates the murder of her friend and police chief, Judd Crawford (Johnson), unearthing hidden truths about vigilantism. The police conceal their identities to avoid targeted attacks following a "White Night" incident. Premiering October 20, 2019, and concluding December 15, the nine-episode series garnered critical acclaim for its performances, writing, and visual style. Highlighting the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, Watchmen won 11 Primetime Emmy Awards in 2020. Lindelof's departure after the first season, citing a completed narrative, has seemingly concluded the series, classified as a limited series with no immediate plans for continuation.
