Classic 1976 horror film The Omen introduced us to Damien Thorn, the son of the Devil, who was brought up by a privileged American family in the UK, and who brought death and destruction to those around him.
The terrifying tale now comes to the small screen in FOX’s supernatural sequel, Damien, starring British actor Bradley James in the title role.
Set 30 years after Damien’s birth, the 10-part series begins as he is working as a war photographer in Syria – unaware of his identity as the Antichrist. In Damascus, he encounters an elderly woman, who unexpectedly tells him: ‘Damien, I love you. It’s all for you.’
