Not to be outdone by all the various networks’ presentations taking place during the currently under way Upfronts, A&E has released a first look video of its new series “Damien.”
“Damien” follows the adult life of Damien Thorn (Bradley James), the mysterious child from the 1976 motion picture 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. Barbara Hershey stars as Ann Rutledge, the world’s most powerful woman, who has been tasked with making sure Damien fulfills his destiny. Omid Abtahi portrays Amani Golkar, a close colleague of Damien’s whose fierce loyalty will be tested when he realizes who his brother-in-arms actually is. Meganlyn Echikunwoke plays Simone Baptiste, a woman whose life is thrown into turmoil when tragedy unexpectedly strikes.
The first season of the series, from Glen Mazzara and Fox 21 TV Studios, will include ten episodes. In his TV directing debut, Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) will helm and executive produce the first episode.
“Damien,” slated to premiere in 2016, is written and executive produced by Mazzara via his 44 Strong Productions.
