The Writers Guild of America handed out its biggest awards of the year to works like Parasite, Jojo Rabbit, Succession and Barry. But there was another big winner for the night: HBO's Watchmen.
Watchmen won the award for "Best New Series." It was nominated against Netflix's Dead to Me, Hulu's PEN15, Netflix's Russian Doll and FX's What We Do in the Shadows.
The show was also nominated for "Best Drama Series." It went up against Netflix's The Crown, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, Netflix's Mindhunter and HBO's Succession. However, Succession was the winner in this category.
Watchmen is Damon Lindelof's own live-action sequel of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's acclaimed graphic novel of the same name. The show received an overwhelmingly positive reception from both critics and fans alike, though it won't be returning for a Season 2.
Developed by Damon Lindelof, HBO's Watchmen stars Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Jean Smart, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tom Mison, James Wolk, Adelaide Clemens, Andrew Howard, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Lily Rose Smith and Adelynn Spoon.
