With Doctor Manhattan and Ozymandias already revealed to be a part of HBO’s upcoming Watchmen series, now comes word that another familiar character will be appearing in the show.

Via IGN, showrunner Damon Lindelof has confirmed that the role being played by Fargo and Legion’s Jean Smart is that of Laurie Juspeczyk, aka Silk Spectre. In Watchmen, Laurie will be going by the name of Laurie Blake after taking on the surname of her real father, Edward Blake, aka The Comedian. This older Laurie will be working for the FBI in the series.

HBO’s Watchmen will be a completely original story set in the world established in the iconic Watchmen tale of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Watchmen will premiere at a to-be-confirmed date later this year.
