Damon Lindelof has made some unforgettable television like `Lost` and `The Leftover.` Now, he`s got his hands on Alan Moore`s iconic comic book series `Watchmen`. While what Zack Snyder did with the movie was a traditional adaptation, it doesn`t seem like Lindelof plans on doing the same.

After being teased for a while, HBO has finally declared the premiere date of October 20, 2019. If you haven`t been keeping up, Lindelof`s retelling of Moore`s comic book series is said to be `something of a remix` . Lindelof has gone on record saying, " I`m not creating this world; I`m adding to a world already created...all I can do is stay true to the spirit of Watchmen and pray that it all works out. I owe everything to Watchmen, and it`s an honor to officially get the chance to pay off that debt.`

He has declared that the series will feature new characters and conflicts than those seen in the beloved original graphic novel. However, the atmosphere will still be rooted in the world of original comics.

Damon Lindelof`s `Watchmen` series is set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws. This drama series embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name while attempting to break new ground of its own.

`Watchmen` series stars Regina King, Jeremy Iron, Don Johnson, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Andrew Howard, Hong Chau, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, and James Wolk.
