The project was born in 2016 as a sequel to ‘The Prophecy’ from 1976
The first prophecy has arrived in theaters with very good reviews, even though no one trusted a prequel to The prophecy from 1976, one of Richard Donner’s horror gems.
And it is not surprising considering that In 2016, an attempt was made to revive this horror franchise with a series under the title Damien, the same one that was canceled after just one season by A&E, the American television network and home of the acclaimed Bates Motel with Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga.
In the 2010s, A&E was literally killing it with the prequel to Psychosis by Alfred Hitchcock, Bates Motel, until reaching the number of five seasons. So the chain tried the same with The prophecy, but it didn’t turn out as well as he expected.
Ignoring the previous films, The story of the series follows the adult life of Damien Thorn, who is apparently unaware of the satanic forces that surround him. Haunted by his past, Damien now had to accept his true destiny: to be the Antichrist, the most feared man throughout the centuries.
The American chain trusted in his success and awarded him a season of 10 episodes, However, it was plagued by low ratings throughout all its episodes. Despite everything, Damien found his niche of fans who have not yet recovered from his cancellation.
One of the horror films that can shock you the most: it only lasts an hour and a half and offers a new vision of the world of vampires
Damien is created by Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead) and starring Bradley James, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Omid Abtahi, Barbara Hershey, David Meunier and Michael Therriault, among others.
