This is certainly the worst of omens. Variety reports A&E has cancelled Damien after one season.
Based on The Omen film series, the drama followed an adult Damien (Bradley James) grappling with the fact that he is the Antichrist. Barbara Hershey, Scott Wilson, Omid Abtahi, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Robin Weigert, and David Meunier also starred.
The news doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Ratings for the short-lived thriller were never strong. Season one received an average of .18 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 478,000 viewers.
Showrunner Glen Mazzara confirmed the news on Twitter:
This hurts to say but #Damien will not be getting a second season. Thank you from all of us to our amazing fans.

What do you think? Did you watch Damien? Do you think the show should’ve been renewed?
Really enjoyed the series, was looking forward to season 2 and how they would resolve the conflict.
I enjoy Bradley James as an actor. He was great in Merlin and he showed a great dark turn in this.
As usual a great show is cancelled while rubbish like ‘Big Brother’ ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ and ‘Survivor’ etc gets renewed again and again.
I am almost done watching Season 1 I liked the story line I was looking forward to another season wish they reconsider
