Damien, the six-episode series based off the mythos of The Omen, has moved from Lifetime to A&E and, at the same time, gained an additional four episodes, bringing the series to a total of 10 episodes, says Variety.
The show is a direct sequel to the 1976 film and follows Damien Thorn as an adult dealing with his dark past. While it was originally meant to debut this year, the site adds that we should expect it now to air in 2016.
The show’s synopsis reads:
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.
Late last year we reported that Bradley James (“Merlin”) landed the title role as Damien Thorn. The show is being written and executively produced by Glen Mazzara (“The Walking Dead”).
