We’ve had the opportunity to check out several episodes of the upcoming A&E series “Damien,” and while it’s a little uneven (especially at first), fans of the film The Omen, to which it serves as a direct sequel, should be pretty pleased. And as far as performances go, I predict we’ll be seeing Barbara Hershey for sure at next year’s Emmy Awards.
In any event, you’ll all have a chance to make up your own minds about the show beginning on March 7th, when it debuts immediately following the Season 4 return of “Bates Motel.” Right now we have a new teaser trailer to share.
About “Damien”:
“Damien” follows the adult life of Damien Thorn, the mysterious child from the 1976 horror film The Omen, who has grown up seemingly unaware of the satanic forces around him. Haunted by his past, Damien must now come to terms with his true destiny — that he is the Antichrist. The saga begins when Damien, an acclaimed war photographer, returns home to New York after experiencing a traumatic event while on assignment in Syria. Strange occurrences and flashbacks plague him, and he is then forced to confront his true identity.
“Damien” stars Bradley James (“Merlin,” “Homeland”) along with Oscar® nominee Barbara Hershey (“Once Upon a Time”), Omid Abtahi (“Better Call Saul”), Megalyn E.K. (“House of Lies”), Scott Wilson (“The Walking Dead”), David Meunier (“Justified”), and Robin Weigert (“Sons of Anarchy”).
“Damien” is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios for A&E Network. Glen Mazzara (“The Walking Dead,” “The Shield”) serves as writer and executive producer via his 44 Strong Productions. Ross Fineman, who developed the project alongside Mazzara, executive produces through his company, Fineman Entertainment. Pancho Mansfield also serves as executive producer. Golden Globe® and BAFTA Award-nominated director Shekhar Kapur directed and executive produced the first episode.
