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?
Can’t believe it’s gonna be left like that. Please bring series 2
Can’t believe this was broadcast in 2021 when there wasn’t a series 2…. should be ashamed as I know it’s not the only series this has been done this with… fox needs to get a grip and fund a second series….. it took a while but it got juicy….
Got to be a second season. As so much more to find out and what happens to the nun and the people from the Vatican.
Absolutely gutted, this programme is one of my favourite shows of all time. Just as its getting juice as well. This has to be down to poor marketing and advertising of the programme or it is on the same time as something else good cause the programme is brilliant. I can only hope that Netflix or someone buys the rights to this programme and continue it.
Regards
A hugely dissapointed fan
Having watched the series on fox in 2020/2021 in the uk we need a series 2! surely this could be considered if the ratings are high enough??
I am gutted there isnt going to be a second series of damian.why bother putting the first one on.watch 10 episodes then find out theres not going to be anymore and no ending.wouldnt have watched the first if i knew there wouldn’t be anymore.i loved it
Damien definitely needs to be renewed, I really enjoyed the series but now left on a cliffhanger about what would happen next which is such a shame.
Took a while to get going….but the last 2-3 episodes really turned up the tempo. DEFINITELY needed a second series 🙁
Definitely need a second season. I loved watching them, please done leave it like that, it’s a cliff hanger and not to have a 2nd season would be cruel.
We need to see season 2 another gr8 show ends
I think the characters were great, but it was a really slow show and never gripping as it flitted onto something else
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
