Watchmen’s Regina King leaves fans devastated as she admits season two’s future is uncertain
WATCHMEN star Regina King has admitted she doesn't think the show will return for a second series.
The actress played the no nonsense masked detective Angela Abar in the hit HBO show.
Regina, 49, revealed her thoughts during an interview with her pal Reese Witherspoon for issue and said: "I don’t know.
"Honestly, I feel like I think HBO would want it back in a heartbeat, but if [showrunner] Damon Lindelof doesn’t see an entry point for Season 2, I think that the possibilities are infinite."
She added: "But I feel that if Damon doesn’t see it, then it’s going to be a no for me."
Based on the legendary graphic novel of the same name, Watchmen was helmed by Lindelof, who also crested Lost and Alias.
Viewers see an alternate version of 2019 without smartphones or the internet and the action takes place over thirty years since the original graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
The nine episode series received a number of rave reviews and came to an end on December, but Lindelof admitted he'd already told his story and had no plans for a second season.
He did however give the network his "blessing" if they want to move forward with another showrunner.
But speaking at the Television Critic's Association in January, HBO's programming president Casey Bloys admitted that "it would be hard to imagine doing it without Damon involved in some way".
"It's really in Damon's thinking about what he wants to do," said Bloys.
"If there's an idea that excited him about another season, another instalment, maybe like a Fargo, True Detective [anthology-type] take on it, or if he wants to do something different altogether."
Bloys added: "We're very proud of Watchmen, but what I'm most interested in [is] what Damon wants to do."
