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?
Love this show can’t stop watching it. Very time I find a show I love it gets cancelled
this sucks, I have been waiting for season 2. Good job A&E.
I wish i would’ve found out about the show sooner i love this show!
Bummed this is over, especially without a proper end. They should have promoted the show, more or better. maybe another network will pick it up. there is a whole fan base that loves this genre that wasn’t reached.
I agree with Kathleen….. “I am REALLY upset this show is done!! One season and out?? As fans we have the right to at least closure of a show. I HATE when networks do that.”
I’m really disappointed!!!!
The Queen of England,does not want viewers to Know the truth.We all Know who the real Damien is.that would be William.The series is to close to the real deal.He will make his way into the world sometime in 2017.NO LONGER VIRTUAL REALALITY,(ITS REALALITY)
Why was Damien cancelled: I’m sure that the lack of number of viewers played a huge part for the cancellation of the series, however one needs to understand that Damien is a depiction of the antichrist ” the son of Satan, Devil, Lucifer………” incarnate on earth. There are societies that are protecting the secret of him: 1) It’s a bit early to have a show about it especially when things are just starting to fall into place. ” The antichrist is not yet surfaced ” 2) Once he does and the series let’s say has already depicted his rise the… Read more »

Can’t believe it, I told everyone I know about the show and so did my girlfriend. I will never watch a new A&E series again, this really sucks, way to go A&E, just get us hooked and then tell us to go to HELL, you shouldn’t have left us hanging. Now I will let everyone know you SUCK!!!!~
I am right with you – everytime I start a new show and I love it, it gets cancelled – why do I bother starting new shows? all the good ones never come back – I am so pissed right now? I just finished the last 2 shows that I had on DVR and immediately went on line to find out when it will be coming back – to find out that it’s not coming back. UUgghh!!!!!
Ditto!!
The storyline was a bit weak however, Bradley James acting was top notch and hope to see him re-cast into something more successful…Story line basically needed some beefing up/better writers….sorry…
So sad. What a great show. It’s one of the best I watched in a long time. I was really sad to hear it was cancelled. It seems lately a lot of good shows are cancelled. Damien was a great one!
one of the better show, must have had to make room for stupid reality show or something. They do not want to pay real actors or writers anymore
No, please, why did you cancel it??? Omg it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever watched! Omg it feels like supernatural got cancel…I can’t believe this
It is very sad that Damian was canceled it was a great show that did not get enough publicity. I wish more people would have watched because it really was a great show.
I am very sad and irritated that another good show that I like, is being cancelled!! I really liked Damian and thought Barbara Hershey was fantastic! Another good show cancelled, why?
