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.
