Damon Lindelof stated that he has no interest in returning for a second season of Watchmen.

HBO’s Watchmen debuted to acclaim that continued throughout the Damon Lindelof’s series’ nine-episode run. While many fans would love to see the Watchmen return for a second season, Damon Lindelof has previously expressed uncertainty regarding whether or not he thinks the HBO series should continue.

This week, Damon Lindelof told USA Today that he has no interest in returning for a second season of Watchmen because he has told the story he wants to tell. That said, Damon Lindelof stated that he’s “given my blessing” to HBO should the network opt to bring on a new writer-producer to work on a Watchmen season 2. However, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys has previously stated that the network is only interesting in continuing Watchmen with Damon Lindelof involved, meaning his decision to decline to come back for another season has made it unlikely that the series will return.

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

Set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, WATCHMEN embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.

Watchmen stars Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Hong Chau, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, and James Wolk. The series is produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros. Television, based on Alan Moore’s graphic novel co-created and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and published by DC.

Watchmen aired on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. on HBO.
