Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 267,096 views on Monday, 21 October 2019 our article of the day is Watchmen (TV series).
Watchmen is an American superhero drama television series, inspired by some characters from the DC Comics limited series of the same name created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The TV show is created and developed by Damon Lindelof for HBO, with Lindelof serving as executive producer and writer. There will be nine episodes in the first season. The series takes place in an alternate contemporary reality in the United States, in which superheroes and masked vigilantes were outlawed due to their violent methods, but some of them gather around to start a revolution while others attempt to stop it.
According to Lindelof, the TV series will not be a direct adaptation of the original source material, instead, being "remixed"; aiming to tell an entirely new story set in the world where the events of the original storyline took place. The series will also showcase different points of view, with the only characters from the original storyline confirmed to appear in the series being Doctor Manhattan, the former Silk Spectre, and former hero Ozymandias. The series will also focus on a detective named Angela Abar, codenamed Sister Night.
The series premiered on October 20, 2019.
