HBO's highly anticipated new drama Watchmen is nearly here, and as the clock keeps ticking by, the network has unveiled the first images from the series featuring its star-studded cast of characters.
Regina King leads the ensemble, which also includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Don Johnson, Jeremy Irons, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr. and Hong Chau, among others. Set 30 years after the action of the graphic novel upon which creator Damon Lindelof was inspired, the world of Watchmen looks slightly different than it did before.
