Bradley James leads the cast of a new US drama series based on classic ’70s horror film The Omen.

Damien follows the adult life of Damien Thorn (played by Bradley James), the mysterious child from the original The Omen movie 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.

From the executive producer of The Walking Dead and The Shield, the ten-part first season will premiere in 2016 on A&E, the US home of Bates Motel and The Returned.

A&E general manager Rob Sharenow commented earlier this year: “A&E’s unwavering commitment to high quality original scripted drama programming, coupled with the sizable fan-base for our hit series Bates Motel, which so perfectly aligns with Damien, make the network the ideal fit for this exceptional show.”
