To coincide with the U.S. premiere of HBO’s Watchmen TV series last night (October 20), Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails have shared a snippet of their new score for the show.
The pair's latest work comes ahead of the release of new musical drama Waves, and forthcoming Pixar film Soul, both of which they are also scoring. The former is arriving on November 1 this year, while the latter is set for release on June 19, 2020.
As for Watchmen, Trent Reznor recently told Variety that he'd gotten in touch with director Damon Lindelof about the project as soon as he learned about its existence.

“We reached out to Damon and the HBO camp when I first heard about it, because I’ve been a fan of Damon since Lost," he revealed. "I was completely blown away by The Leftovers. Also, as a big fan of Watchmen [in other incarnations], I appreciated the fearlessness that taking on that property and that IP would require. I thought, if anybody was to do it at any place, HBO and Damon sounds exciting to me.
“For Watchmen we’ve had the challenge of working almost blind, off a bit of a script for the first episode of 10," the musical mastermind added. "But we spent enough time with Damon to know that we’re kindred spirits.”
