Actor Bradley James has landed the title role in Damien, a new Lifetime drama series that will act as a sequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen. According to Deadline, James (Merlin, Homeland) will play Damien Thorn, the dashing Antichrist who is “seemingly unaware of the satanic forces around him,” like the black dogs that follow him everywhere. The six-episode series—developed by former Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara—will explore Damien coming to terms with his destiny, which was spelled out in the original film by a creepy rhyme about turning man against his brother but might be updated for modern audiences as a demonic text message with the fire and party hat emojis.
