The latest round of Outlander spinoff casting includes an Easter Egg for a subset of the book-loyal fandom.
Starz on Wednesday announced the addition of four roles to the forthcoming prequel, Blood of My Blood. Among them: Watchmen‘s Sara Vickers in the part of Brian Fraser’s mother (and, therefore, Jamie Fraser’s grandmother). The character is a housekeeper in the Lovat household, which is good and all, but we’re super into how she’s also named after someone many devotees of author Diana Gabaldon will recognize: Davina Porter, who narrates the audiobook versions of Gabaldon’s Outlander book series.

Patrick Wilson is looking back at Watchmen and praising director Zack Snyder for being “ahead of the curve,” which he says ultimately led the way for films like The Avengers.
“Watchmen is the only movie of mine that I have watched front to back since a premiere — that movie is awesome,” Wilson said in an interview with ReelBlend.
Wilson joked that he wanted to share the film with his son “to fast forward through the scene with Malin Akerman in the ship.”
“I just wanted to look at it as an older guy, as a filmmaker. I knew Zack was ahead of the curve,” he added. “It’s weird to say that audiences weren’t ready for it. But you need a movie like that. You need movies to go so dark that then Avengers can go so light. I do believe in that.”

Fancy watching a no-nonsense Yorkshire cop on the brink of retirement finally taking down her nemesis? How about an Oxford scholar pitting his wits against a decades-long conspiracy? These are the premises for just two of the exciting British TV shows about to arrive in the US but that’s not all: there’s also globe-trotting sci-fi with big ideas, a fast-paced dark comedy, a remarkable depiction of marriage by two British acting stalwarts, and more besides.
From cosy crime to original comedy, here are the UK TV highlights coming to America:

It’s tough to say goodbye. Endeavour’s ninth series concluded over a decade spent with the Cowley Station (later Thames Valley) gang, so it’s only natural for fans feeling bereft to seek out their favourites’ next steps. Having hung up his Fred Thursday hat, Roger Allam can be seen this year on screen and stage, while Shaun Evans is taking on a very different kind of crime drama role.
From Endeavour production company Mammoth Screen, there’s a new period drama co-production, plus the return of series creator Russell Lewis’ next ITV detective drama, starring John Simm. Find all the info below.

Detective Sergeant Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) returns to Masterpiece on PBS Sunday, June 19 for three more 90-minute episodes of the popular British mystery series Endeavour. “I’m here to make sure justice gets done,” Morse asserts in the Season 8 trailer, which shows the Oxford detective and his colleagues on the trail of more murderers in 1971. He’s joined once again by Detective Chief Inspector Fred Thursday (Roger Allam), his loyal senior officer/father figure; Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright (Anton Lesser), their recently widowed boss; and Detective Sergeant Jim Strange (Sean Rigby). Other longtime characters are also returning: pathologist Max DeBryn (James Bradshaw), newspaper editor Dorothea Frazil (Abigail Thaw), and Thursday’s wife Win (Caroline O’Neill) and daughter Joan (Sara Vickers), whom Morse has been pining for since the mid-’60s. Joan was noticeably absent from Season 7 due to the actress’s real-life pregnancy. In those episodes, set in 1970, Morse had...

Morse’s plan to transfer to another force has either been scrapped or put on the back burner in series eight, which finds the detective in Oxford and the Castle Gate team tackling “the most challenging of cases so far,” according to the official press release. The three-part new series picks up at the start of 1971, just after series seven’s dramatic conclusion which saw Morse’s latest doomed lover take a bullet for him and die in his arms. He certainly can pick ‘em.
The loss of the scheming Violetta Talenti, and the bad blood between Morse and Thursday have taken their toll on Endeavour in series eight, which will see him “crestfallen and rarely without a scotch in-hand” and once again struggling with his inner demons. Not that it looks like there’ll be much time for Morse to dwell on his guilt, tasked as he’ll be...

Who would’ve guessed that Tom Mison would play Watchmen‘s Doctor Manhattan? (Kind of.)
Sunday’s episode of HBO’s superhero epic found Jeremy Irons’ character staging The Watchmaker’s Son, the “tragedy in five acts” he mentioned in the series’ premiere. Fans of the comic books on which the show is based likely recognized the play as the origin story of Doctor Manhattan, aka Jonathan Osterman, a nuclear physicist who was turned into a gigantic, blue superhuman after an accident in his lab.

The majority of the action in the Watchmen premiere takes place in Tulsa, Ok, with a group of white supremacists going after local law enforcement and the masked vigilantes who fight alongside the police. However, there is a scene toward the end of the episode with Jeremy Irons, which takes viewers completely out of the action but undoubtedly has some serious implications on the plot moving forward. Read on to find out what we know about who Jeremy Irons is playing - probably Ozymandias - and what his connection is to Dr. Manhattan. Warning: spoilers from the premiere episode ahead!

The first episode of HBO’s Watchmen series premiered last night and it was great! I loved what writer and creator Damon Lindelof has done with this show and the story that he’s set up, which is set years after the events of the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
This is just the beginning of what looks like will be an incredible show and we have a new trailer to share with you that shows us what we can expect in the upcoming episodes and it teases some twists and turns that will be coming. Obviously, if you haven’t watched the first episode yet, you probably don’t want to watch this until after you have.

According to Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof, the nine-episode show will be a self-contained story that will give viewers a complete resolution at the end. This series could only be one season, but that doesn’t mean it will be. We could get another Watchmen season, but Lindelof doesn’t know if it will happen.
While talking to Deadline, Lindelof explained:
“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.”
I’ll wait and watch the series before I even decide if I want to see a second one. But, I am excited for the series!

We’ve got another new photo from HBO’s Watchmen sequel series to share with you that offers us another look at Jeremy Irons riding a horse. Irons is said to be taking on the role of Adrian Veidt a.k.a. Ozymandias in the series.
Showrunner Damon Lindelof also opened up about the group of white supremacists who will be a focal point of the series, and how race will be handled.
“We talked a lot about racism. We asked what’s the thing that’s causing a tremendous amount of anxiety in America today? The only authentic answer was race."
As for why the racist group in the series are wearing Rorschach masks, Lindelof explains he wanted to explore Rorschach’s alt-right views:
"I don’t wanna editorialise on whether or not Rorschach was a white supremacist. I don’t think he was, but he certainly had what...

War is brewing in the latest trailer for HBO’s Watchmen, so we’re going to get this out of the way early: We’re on whatever side Regina King’s Angela plays for.
If the reasoning put forth at the beginning of the clip is to be believed, Angela is driven by trauma, obsessed with justice and has experienced grievous injustice in her lifetime. But that doesn’t stop her from donning a mask and kicking down doors in the pursuit of good — even if that means, as she informs Don Johnson’s police chief Judd Crawford, getting a little rough.

The story set years after the events in the original story in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws. It embraces the nostalgia of the original graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.
This looks like a fantastically bold series that is going to tell a deep and complex story that is filled with interesting and unique characters. This is gong to be unlike any other comic book series that we’ve seen before, and I’m completely pumped up and ready to watch it!

When it comes to the comic book medium, there tend to be a handful of standout titles readers often regard as being akin to holy writ. More often than not, two of the most highly acclaimed contributions to the industry are swiftly referenced whenever a conversation such as this arises, and they’re both products of the 1980’s. These are, of course, Watchmen and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
When it comes to Watchmen specifically, that hadn’t been branched out until more recent years. Following the big screen adaptation in 2009, not much time went by before DC began putting out prequel miniseries under the banner of Before Watchmen. And more recently, they released a sequel of their own, Doomsday Clock, that integrates characters like Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias into the DC Universe itself.

Comic book writer Alan Moore has never been happy with any of his work being adapted by Hollywood. He doesn’t like it that people mess around with his work! He wasn’t a fan of the Watchmen prequel comic series that DC published, he certainly wasn’t happy with Zack Snyder’s movie, and of course, he’s not happy about the upcoming HBO sequel series.
During the Television Critics Association, HBO's head of programming, Casey Bloys, was asked if Moore was still angry about the series and he responded, "I think that remains the case. That he’s not thrilled."
When the creator of the series and showrunner Damon Lindelof talked about Alan Moore, saying he has "made it very clear that he doesn’t want to have any association or affiliation with Watchmen." But, Lindelof still respects the writer and even called him "a genius”.

Damon Lindelof is taking a very Alan Moore approach to his series adaptation of Moore’s graphic novel “Watchmen.”
Speaking at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Wednesday, Lindelof said that Moore has a “punk rock spirit” and that if someone had told him that he was not allowed to do something in his own writing, Moore would have said “F— you, I’m doing it anyway.”
So when it came to remaining completely faithful to Moore’s work versus taking risks with new story elements, Lindelof said, “I’m channeling the spirit of Alan Moore to say “F— you, I’m doing it anyway.”
Moore has notoriously said he wants nothing to do with any adaptations of his work. According to Lindelof, he reached out to Moore while he was working on the “Watchmen” series to little effect.
“I have made personal overtures to connect with him...

After dropping an Easter egg-rich new Watchmen trailer during the spotlight of Comic-Con, Damon Lindelof today tore right into the heart of the upcoming HBO series based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ classic late-1980s comic.
“What in 2019 is the equivalent of the nuclear standoff between the Americans and the Russians?” the sometimes-punchy Leftovers co-creator postulated during the Watchmen panel at TCA on Wednesday. “It is race and the police,” Lindelof said, answering his own question as star Regina King and Ep/director Nicole Kassell — both Leftovers alums — sat next to him on stage at the Beverly Hilton.
“There is no defeating white supremacy — it’s not going away,” Ep Lindelof explained of the hate groups that populate the nine-episode Watchmen. “There are no easy answers and grandiose solution,” he added, noting this was not going to play out like your standard superheroes saga on the small or big screen.

Alan Moore, whose popular graphic novel “Watchmen” will provide the basis for an HBO drama created by Damon Lindelof, is “not thrilled” about the new project, HBO programming president Casey Bloys said Wednesday.
That’s not a surprise: Moore has famously opposed attempts to adapt his work for the screen. Asked if Moore has changed his stance, Bloys said no.
“I think that remains the case. That he’s not thrilled,” Bloys said in a Television Critics Association Q&a.

Bloys added that Moore isn’t consulting on the show. Again, no surprise.
Zack Snyder directed a film version of the 12-issue “Watchmen” comics series in 2009. Lindelof has said his take isn’t a remake or sequel, but a “remix.”
“This story will be set in the world its creators painstakingly built… but...
