Zack Snyder & HBO Reportedly In Talks For ‘Watchmen’ TV Series

With streaming services and network TV already jumping into the superhero realm with a handful of shows from Marvel and DC, it was only a matter of time until the cable networks decided to get a slice of the pie. And it looks like HBO is thinking about bringing to life what was once called an unadaptable graphic novel.

Collider is reporting that the network is talking with Zack Snyder about a possible "Watchmen" series. Of course, Snyder is the man behind the 2009 movie version that split audiences and critics, but the idea of going to the small screen isn't a new one. Terry Gilliam, who was attached in the early '90s to helm a version that never got made and who has been critical of Snyder's film, has said the material probably would've been better served episodically.
