The casting flow on Damon Lindelof's planned TV version of Watchmen continues, using the drip feed method of a few names each time after the main cast were announced. Tom Mison, Frances Fisher and Jacob Ming-Trent are the latest additions.

Lindelof's Watchmen is planned as a different beast from Zack Snyder's more faithful movie version of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic graphic novel. It'll treat that story as its history (occasionally dipping into it), and will focus on a more present-day story of superheroes still struggling in a world where they're outlawed.

As is standard for this and other projects at relatively early stage, there is no information on what the new trio will be playing. They join a cast that already includes Regina King, Don Johnson, Jeremy Irons, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Adelaide Clemens and Andrew Howard. And the show itself remains in pilot form for now, so there's no word on an air date should it prove successful.
