Merlin star Bradley James has landed the title role in Damien, Lifetime’s straight-to-series drama followup to 20th Century Fox’s classic horror film, The Omen. In his TV directing debut, Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth), will helm and executive produce the first episode.
Produced by Fox TV Studios, the six-epsiode 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.
