According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leftovers “No Room at the Inn” and “It’s a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World” director Nicole Kassell will helm the inaugural episode of HBO’s untitled Watchmen series, adding her name to the executive producer ranks as well.
We still don’t know what LOST and Leftovers boss Damon Lindelof’s new Watchmen series actually is, but it’s at least in good hands.
In addition to directing the two Leftovers episodes (both Christopher Eccleston-centric and series highlights), Kassell has also directed episodes of HBO’s Westworld, FX’s The Americans and AMC’s Better Call Saul.
The hotly-anticipated pilot officially has its director, as a key Leftovers alum goes behind the camera to kick off a new midnight watch.
