The devil has many names in new Damien teaser

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

A&E is in full ad blitz mode for Damien, their new “original” horror series documenting the post-adolescent years of devil’s boy Damien Thorn. You can check out the network’s earlier promo here, but before that give the new one a look below, which tells us that most obvious truth about ol Satan: He has many names.

“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 will debut on A&E on March 7th, after the series premiere of Bates Motel.
