A&E has canceled the awful, awful “Damien,” their series that continues the story of the classic horror film The Omen from 1976.
“This hurts to say but ‘Damien’ will not be getting a second season,” Exec producer Glen Mazzara confirmed on Twitter. “Thank you from all of us to our amazing fans… So sorry we won’t be able to continue our story for you.
“I really loved making ‘Damien’ — we all did,” he added. “We just never got the numbers there. Gave it our best shot.”
The ten-episode “Damien” follows the adult life of Damien Thorn (Bradley 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.
In a world where “Big Bang Theory” continues on, sometimes bad shows do get the axe.
I wonder if this will affect the newly planned The Omen prequel with Antonio Campos (Christine) in negotiations to direct with David Goyer and Phantom Four producing.
