Eerie Trailer for THE OMEN-Inspired Horror Series DAMIEN
A&E has released a new trailer for their upcoming series Damien, which is based on the classic 1976 horror film, The Omen. As you'll see, the series is basically a continuation of the story started in the original film, which the series connects to directly. That fact alone is pretty exciting for a horror fanatic like myself. I'm intrigued with what I've seen so far. Here's the synopsis for the series:
Damien follows the adult life of Damien Thorn, the mysterious child from the 1976 motion picture 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.
Damien stars Bradley James (Merlin, Homeland) as Damien Thorn, Barbara Hershey (Insidious), Omid Abtahi (Better Call Saul), and Meganlyn Echikunwoke (House of Lies).
The series is being developed by executive producer Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead). The hour-long drama is set to premiere on Monday, March 7th.
