Back in May, we learned that ex-Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara was in talks to work on a Lifetime movie that served as a sequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen.
Now Lifetime has announced that they've greenlit the project - placing a six-episode, straight-to-series order on the series, which is now called Damien.
The series 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, the most feared man throughout the ages.
“We are thrilled to be bringing a contemporary version of The Omen’s Damien Thorn back to the screen. Glen Mazzara has re-imagined him as a dark, romantic, anti-hero and this fresh take blends complex characters with premium storytelling to make something truly original,” said Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Lifetime.
Fox Television Studios Senior Vice President, Programming, Nancy Cotton added “The Omen is a jewel in the crown of the Fox features library; we’re gratified and eager to bring a new iteration of ‘Damien’ and this iconic story to television – and to a new audience – through the vision of Glen Mazzara.”
Scheduled to launch in early 2015, Damien will be written and executive produced by Mazzara (The Walking Dead, The Shield) via his 44 Strong Productions. Ross Fineman (Lights Out), who developed the project alongside Mazzara, executive produces through his company, Fineman Entertainment.
