The details on Watchmen — from The Leftovers showrunner Damon Lindelof — remain skimpy (The logline: “Set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.”)
And the cast is star-filled and sprawling: Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Adelaide Clemens, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Lily Rose Smith and Adelynn Spoon (whew!).
The tagline refers to an oft-quoted line of dialogue from Alan Moore’s comic book, from when Ozymandias asks Dr. Manhattan if he did the right thing, if it all worked out in the end.
Dr. Manhattan says: “In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.”

I think they should've left it alone. It's a great book that doesn't need another adaptation. I've avoided the new comics and plan to steer clear of this one too.
They lost me when they combined with DC. What is the point? Are there not still interesting stories to tell in the WATCHMAN universe? That being said, this is by HBO who can attract the best people to make a kick ass series. The characters are solid and the poeple making it have a real powerful connection to the source material. If only Alan Moore could be involved without him being all crazy but I have hight hopes for this. I wish HBO would tackle DUNE next. Though SYFY did a great ten hour miniseries of the first three books that was fantastic. Young James McIvoy was in that one as Leto II.
