HBO has unveiled the first teaser trailer for its upcoming Watchmen TV series, giving a first glimpse of what's to come when the show debuts later this year.
The one-minute clip, released on Wednesday, sees a group of masked vigilantes appear to prepare for an uprising as voices chant "Tick tock".
“We are no one. We are everyone. And we are invisible,” one of the masked men says, while one character appears to predict "the end of the world" at the end of the video.
In DC's Watchmen comic books, costumed vigilantes have been outlawed in an alternate reality beginning in 1938, in which events such as the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal have had different outcomes. The comic books series was made into a movie directed by Zack Snyder in 2009.
