Deadline is reporting that the new TV show based on the classic horror film The Omen, entitled Damien, is set to change from Lifetime to A&E.
The straight-to-series drama is set to be a direct follow-up to the original The Omen, which was directed by Richard Donner (Superman) and starred Gregory Peck. The show had been set-up at Lifetime, but with the move to A&E, the series has gone from a 6-episode run to a 10-episode run.
Damien “follows the adult life of Damien Thorn (Bradley James), the mysterious child from the 1976 motion picture who has grown up seemingly unaware of the satanic forces around him.”
A&E are hoping the show will follow the success of their other classic-horror-remake Bates Motel, which is expected to be renewed for a fourth season very soon.
