Damon Lindelof has revealed he doesn’t have any ideas for a second season of his HBO show, Watchmen.

Last year, Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen aired on HBO for a single season. The series was praised by critics but drew some ire from fans due to changes to the source material. While initially the show was thought to be an ongoing series, HBO and Damon Lindelof gradually began to move people away from this idea and would not confirm if a second season was in the works.

During a recent interview with Collider, Damon Lindelof further distanced himself from the series by stating that he didn’t have an idea for a second season of Watchmen. While he wished that he did he didn’t think that a second season should be made, simply because people liked the first:

“I wish that I had an idea for Watchmen Season 2, and I really wish that there is going to be a Watchmen Season 2; I just – we put it all on the field for Season 1. And every great idea we had, I was like, what if we just put that in Season 1 versus, ‘Oh, let’s stick it away for later.’ And so, could there be a second season of Watchmen? I personally hope that there is but I don’t think it should exist just because people liked the first season.”

Here is the official synopsis for Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen from HBO:
