With the finale looming, the question of whether this season of 'Watchmen' is one-and-done, or the first chapter of a larger story, has yet to be resolved. And asking the people who worked on it if they want it to return brings no more clarity.
"[It's] a question so above my pay grade that I would not even know how to begin to venture an answer," says Williams.
"I'm still kind of recuperating from production," says Kassell. "I just think it's gonna take time to say what Season 2 would be."
Lindelof mostly dodged the question just like everyone else with the exception of King, whose "absolutely" might've just wishful thinking, but it sounds like he's at least warming to the idea of future seasons."Absolutely!" says King.
"I am deeply, profoundly appreciative for how well received the season has been up until now, and I don't want to feel like I'm ungrateful, but I still don’t have any inclination whatsoever to continue the story," he says. "And that is largely and almost exclusively based on the fact that I don’t have an idea. If I’m going to be involved in any more 'Watchmen,' I should be able to answer the questions, why, and why now, and the answers to those questions shouldn't be, 'Well because that’s what you do, because the first one was good.'"
These are all mysterious and cryptic answers to a seemingly simple question—but what else should we expect from the creators of such a mysterious and cryptic show? We'll have to wait and see if Damon Lindelof can finally crack the idea for a second season. To paraphrase a certain blue man, nothing ever really ends.He chuckles. “I'm not saying there shouldn’t be a second season of 'Watchmen,' and I’m not even saying that that season shouldn’t feature some of the characters in this season of 'Watchmen.' I just don’t know what it should be."
