The comic book saga that no one could adapt is getting another adaptation, however, unlike the unwieldy Zack Snyder movie, this time it’ll be the small screens turn to try and do justice to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s Watchmen.  

The new show, which is being developed for HBO with The Leftovers' Damon Lindelof attached to serve as executive producer/showrunner. Nothing is known about this project so far but, given that TV demands multiple seasons, we could see the series using elements of the Beyond Watchmen prequel comic book series that ran for 37 issues, not to mention the rich history of costumed heroes throughout Americans past which could either be broken up into individual seasons. 

It’s understood that Zack Snyder was meeeting with HBO regarding a possible series, but those talks fell through. Apparently the Lindelof version will have nothing to do with that.
