Even though last year’s Watchmen proved to be a huge success for HBO by staking its claim as one of the best shows of the decade, the possibility of getting a second season lies solely within the hands of creator Damon Lindelof.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, HBO executive Casey Bloys claimed that they’re open to another season of Watchmen but the fate of the series is down to Lindelof alone.
“Where we left it with Damon was he’s thinking about what he wants to do and I’m taking his lead on that,” Bloys said. “If he has an idea that he’s excited about, then I’m excited; if he wants to do something else, then that’s what I want to do.”
Bloys continued to reiterate that if the series was to carry on with a second season, an anthology approach seemed more likely than a continuation of the story in the first season.
“The one thing Damon has been clear about is he doesn’t see a continuation of this story,” Bloys continued. “He has to think about it more and we have to think about, as it relates to Emmys, what the right category is so that we’re not misrepresenting where we want it to be or where it should be. A lot of that will depend on Damon’s plans for the future and what he’s thinking about.”
