With Game of Thrones long finished, HBO are looking for their next ground-breaking television s𝓰how. Step forward Watchmen, the new series from Lost and The Leftovers mastermind Damon Lindelof.

Rather than adapt the iconic graphic novel panel for panel (as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder did with his 2009 movie version), Lindelof is instead "remixin🎐g" the source material to tell a different tale with the same DNA. And i🌊n the new trailer, released at San Diego Comic-Con, that DNA is fully on display with an appearance from Dr. Manhattan being teased. Watch the trailer below.

): “We have no desi🃏re to ‘adapt’ the twelve issues Mr. Moore and Mr. Gibbons createdಌ thirty years ago. Those issues are sacred ground and they will not be retread nor recreated nor reproduced nor rebooted.”

The original graphic novel centred on a group of American vigilante heroes working within the Cold War era. The news series𓂃 looks set to update that setting but will still centre on a group of masked heroes and villains♋. "People who wear masks are dangerous," says one man in the trailer. "We should be scared of them."

No release date for the Watchmen🦄 TV series has been announced, though it is expected to debut in the fall.
