A&E's OMEN-based series, Damien, takes an interesting angle in that its timeline fits more or less between the movie and its sequels. Not quite a sequel, definitely not a prequel, it is in a very intriguing place that might turn out to bear some truly horrific fruit. This new poster for the show is simple, but effective in evoking the world of Damien, which will soon be inverted as everything you once believed comes crashing down. Check it out below!
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.
