There isn't a lot of in depth material out there on how this is going to play out, seems to be a prequel more than a sequel to the film/comic but it looks interesting. Louis Gossett Jr. though, seems an odd choice since he hasn't really done anything good in years, that I can recall at the moment.
"What’s the story? Based on the graphic novel of the same name, Watchmen is set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws. And while Lindelof (The Leftovers) plans to embrace the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel, the series will also attempt to break new ground of its own. He announced his intentions earlier this spring on Instagram.
Who will I recognize? The cast includes Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Hong Chau, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, and James Wolk."
Sounds kind of promising except for this part...
"What about the music? Nine Inch Nails musicians Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (who first worked together as film composers on The Social Network) will be creating the original music for the series. "
Their score worked in that Tattoo movie but Watchmen, I think a more new wave score fits the franchise better but maybe it will be new wave. Trent's first album was more new wave than anything, it wasn't until the follow up album that he went all industrial.
