Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, WATCHMEN, from executive producer Damon Lindelof (Emmy winner for Lost; HBO’s The Leftovers) embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own.

King leads the cast as Angela Abar, who wears two masks; one as a lead detective in The Tulsa Police Force and another as wife and mother of three. The cast also includes Jeremy Irons (Oscar winner for Reversal of Fortune, Emmy winner for Big Cat Week and Elizabeth I) as the aging and imperious Lord of a British Manor; Don Johnson (Golden Globe winner for Miami Vice) as Judd Crawford, Tulsa Chief of Police, Jean Smart (Emmy winner for Samantha Who? and Frasier) as FBI Agent Laurie Blake, Tim Blake Nelson as Detective Looking Glass; Louis Gossett Jr. (Oscar winner for An Officer and a Gentleman, Emmy winner for Roots) as Will Reeves; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Cal Abar; Tom Mison as Mr. Phillips; Frances Fisher as Jane Crawford and Sara Vickers as Ms. Crookshanks.
