Synopsis :

Tulsa, Oklahoma, de nos jours. Il y a 3 ans de cela, un groupe de suprématistes blancs appelés «La septième Cavalerie» s’est attaqué à tous les policiers de la ville ainsi qu’à leurs familles. Afin de protéger leur identité depuis cette attaque poétiquement surnommée «La Nuit Blanche» les policiers portent désormais un bandana jaune afin de conserver leur anonymat. Profondément marqués par cette nuit tragique, Angela Abar et le chef de la police de Tulsa, Judd Crawford, décident d’enquêter de concert sur ce groupuscule et ses adeptes.

Set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, “Watchmen” embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own. “Watchmen” reunites Lindelof with Academy and EmmyAward-winning actress Regina King (“The Leftovers,” “Southland,” “If Beale Street Could Talk”) leading the cast as Angela Abar/Sister Night. The series also stars Emmy Award winner Jean Smart (“Legion,” “Dirty John”), Don Johnson (“Miami Vice”), Tim Blake Nelson (“O Brother,” “Where Art Thou?,” “Leaves of Grass”), Hong Chau (“Homecoming”), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (“Aquaman”), Andrew Howard (“Bates Motel”), Jacob Ming-Trent (“Ray Donovan”), Tom Mison (“Sleepy Hollow”), Sara Vickers (“The Crown”) and Dylan Schombing (“Sharp Objects”), with Academy Award winner Louis Gossett Jr. (“An Officer and a Gentleman”), and Academy, Emmy and Tony Award winning actor Jeremy Irons (“The Lion King, Reversal of Fortune”).

Produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros. Television, the series was created for television by Lindelof based on characters co-created for DC by Dave Gibbons.  The series is executive produced by Lindelof, Tom Spezialy, Nicole Kassell, Stephen Williams and Joseph E. Iberti.
