A trailer has been released for The Watch, a new BBC America series based on characters from Terry Pratchett's Discworld universe. Gizmodo reported that the project "follows the Ankh-Morpork's City Watch (originally from the book Guards! Guards!), who are a diverse, unlikely group of ragtag heroes who must come together to stop an evil plot that involves an unstoppable dragon."
The cast includes Richard Dormer, Lara Rossi, Adam Hugill, Marama Corlett, Jo Eaton-Kent and Wendell Pierce. The Watch hits BBC America January 3, with the first episode arriving a few days early (New Year's Eve) on AMC+ streaming.
