“Watchmen” is a popular HBO superhero drama series based on the Watchmen of the DC comics. The creator of the Watchmen TV series is Damon Lindelof. The series has excellent ensemble cast like Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, and many others. The series is a remix of the comic because it unveils the events many years after the original story. It is set after thirty-four years in an alternate reality. New characters and storylines added in the story to develop it and make it suitable for modern fans in The Watchmen Season 2. Rather than making a reboot, the creators planned to continue with the original story. To know more about the series and its updates have a look at the information below.
The storyline of The Series Watchmen Season 2
The former superheroes are now considered as outlaws because of their forceful method to punish the villains. In the year 1985, the vigilante Ozymandias Adrian Veidt plans an attack on New York by making a squid-like alien terrify the citizens. But this attack kills millions of people in the city and makes people work together to stop future nuclear wars. But this plan of Adrian Veidt angers the other Vigilantes and they fight to kill him. One of them makes a note to tell the people of the misdeeds performed by Adrian Veidt but Doctor Manhattan kills him and flees. But the note he wrote is still present in the Watchmen movie.
Then the series takes us thirty-four years after the above events. The series concentrates on the racist violence in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In the year 2019, a white supremacist gang called Seventh Kavalry is battling with the Tulsa Police Department. The police are then forced to hide their real identities to prevent the gang from attacking their homes. Then the series continues with this interesting storyline. Angela is a detective who searches for some clues to the story and then this leads her to the Vigilante mystery.
