Was that announced at the start? I had only read that there wasn't going to be a second season after we were about 2/3 of the way through the series.
I liked it, but I also thought there was a comic series with some depth behind it - I don't know that I would have invested the time in the series if I had known it was only ever intended to be a single season.
I get up around 5:30am to start my day and I'm not able to have any free time to watch adult shows or movies until after 8:30pm. I've got, at most, 2 hours each day to do anything that I want to do and so I've got to be super choosy about what I'm doing because I want to make the most of it.
Damon Lindelof dropped the somewhat surprising news to Deadline in the lead-up to Watchmen's October 20 premiere on HBO. When asked how many seasons this Watchmen would run if a renewal happened, this was Lindelof's response:
"I’m not being flippant when I say that the answer is one. Does that mean that there isn’t going to be anymore Watchmen? Not necessarily. Does that mean that I will be working on subsequent seasons of Watchmen? I don’t know is the answer to that question. We designed these nine episodes to be as self-contained as the original 12 issues. We wanted to feel like there was a sense of completeness, to resolve the essential mystery at hand. Obviously, there is a potential promise for the further exploration of the world but like the seasons of Leftovers that I did as opposed to Lost, which was designed to have cliffhanger finales and a promise of future storytelling."
Well okay, fair enough. Still don't recall it being advertised that way, though. I remember the Young Pope being advertised as a limited series and really enjoyed it. I thought The Watchmen was...
Well okay, fair enough. Still don't recall it being advertised that way, though. I remember the Young Pope being advertised as a limited series and really enjoyed it. I thought The Watchmen was good, with a satisfying finale, but was disappointed like I was with Luck - went into both of those shows expecting more.
I'd imagine this is US only as well, but I've been waiting to watch Watchmen for a bit, and this might be a good chance.

I found it on Hulu, the Roku Channel, and Amazon Prime for free still. This was after I popped my HBO Max trial, so I feel a little silly.
But they canceled it! That show was awesome!
Is it cancelled if it was only intended to have the one season, per the creator?
