Your support makes all the difference.Regina King has shared an update on whether she’d consider returning for season two of Watchmen, should the show get a second chapter.
The actor spoke to Reese Witherspoon in a video chat for Variety.
Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof originally appeared to have rejected the idea of a potential second season for good.
Since then, he has suggested he’d be in favour of the HBO show getting more episodes – with a new showrunner at the helm.
During their chat, Witherspoon asked King, who portrays Angela Abar/Sister Night in the series, whether she’d return for a second season.
“You know, I don’t know,” King said.
“Honestly, I feel like I think HBO would want it back in a heartbeat, but if Damon Lindelof doesn’t see an entry point for season two – I think that the possibilities are infinite, but I feel that if Damon doesn’t see it, then it’s going to be a no for me.”
Last month, Lindelof told Comicbook.com he’d be willing to pass the torch, should someone else want to take on the challenge of a second season.
“I really do think that there should be more Watchmen and soon. I just don’t think that I should be the one doing it unless I’m like, ‘I know exactly how to do so,’” he told the website.
Lindelof added: ”I would facilitate and embrace and do everything in my power to enable others to come forward and show their take on Watchmen.”
Watchmen's first season was released in 2019 on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
