Jennifer Lynch announced via Instagram that she’s directing one of the episodes of A&E’s The Omen series, “Damien.”
“Damien” is a direct sequel to the 1976 The Omen that follows Damien Thorn (played by Bradley James) as an adult dealing with his dark past.
I actually really like Lynch, even though she was behind the disastrous Hisss, which I give a pass after watching the making-of doc, Despite the Gods.
“Damien” is being written and executively produced by Glen Mazzara (“The Walking Dead”), which is why I found this interesting… Upon further digging, I also learned that Lynch helmed a few episodes of “The Walking Dead’s” upcoming sixth season.
“The ten-episode ‘Damien’ follows the adult life of Damien Thorn (James), the mysterious child from the 1976 film 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, the most feared man throughout the ages.“
