We are now almost a week or so away from the series premiere of HBO's Watchmen. Fans have been kept mostly in the dark about the sequel series and how it will resonate and be relevant in the year 2019. Damon Lindelof is show running this series and now we know what the pilot will be about. The episode is titled "It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice"
Per HBO, "In an alternate America where police conceal their identities behind masks to protect themselves from a terrorist organization, Detective Angela Abar (Regina King) investigates the attempted murder of a fellow officer under the guidance of her friend and Chief, Judd Crawford (Don Johnson). Meanwhile, the Lord of a Country Estate (Jeremy Irons) receives an anniversary gift from his loyal servants. Written by Damon Lindelof; directed by Nicole Kassell."
Watchmen premieres on October 20th on HBO and it's streaming apps. Lindelof has previously said that there may only be one season of Watchmen but something tells me that if the show is successful, we will see more.
