Are you still hoping for another season of Watchmen despite creator Damon Lindelof claiming that the series is over? Regina King has some good news for you. The Academy Award winner has just revealed that there is a way for Lindelof to work on Watchmen Season 2.
King recently spoke to Variety where she was asked if she would be interested in returning as Angela Abar in Watchmen Season 2. Not surprisingly, the If Beale Street Could Talk actress admitted she would do it if Lindelof was still involved.
"If Damon changed his mind? Yes," King said. She then continued by revealing what would make Lindelof decide to work on the second season and what it would mean for her character.
"Because I know if he did it, that means something. Something happened. In all honesty, it would probably be something where Angela dies in the first episode," King said. She then stated that she was impressed with how Lindelof decided to work on the first season.
"I don't know. How Damon even decided to tackle this subject matter was very risky business. Being a white man. Speaking on inherited pain in the Black community. I said, 'Are you really ready for this?' Then he told me the writing team he disassembled and I was like, 'Okay, you're walking into this with rose-colored glasses.'
"You are making an effort to understand a history that you never knew anything about, that we're all connected to. So, I know that if he did go into it, it would be smart. It would be provocative, and he would be pushing people to think beyond themselves," King said.
For now, it seems unlikely that Lindelof will change his mind about Watchmen Season 2. On the other hand, fans are still hoping the showrunner will be convinced to continue with the story, even if it means losing Angela in the first episode.
