Chances of renewal?


So this show is dead in the water or is there any hope?

reply

I think if the show does well in Mexico and South America, it might have a chance.

reply

I really really hope it is renewed! I really enjoy this show a whole lot and I don't want it to go off the air.

Some critics who hated the show are now all of a sudden are loving it. There are many factors at play. Please use the #SaveDamien and #RenewDamien hashtags when communicating with A&E on social media.

At first, it seemed very campy (with the gothic choir and the scenes from the original movie) but I never guessed that Damien would be such an interesting and complex character. It needs a chance.

reply

^^ This! Wholeheartedly agree. I didn't have high hopes at first, but wow after the last episode I have upped my rating to a 9/10.

I don't understand why some people are hating on the music. It's absolutely brilliant. They couldn't have done a better job with the music.

I really hope it gets another season.

I really hope it's renewed as I'm enjoying it very much and would like to see the story played out as long as possible.

It's unfortunate that A&E haven't bothered to promote it properly as there's possibly a large untapped audience out there unaware that it's even on.

I've seen quite a lot of tweets from both fans and various Latin America sites regarding its recent launch into Latin America. But the original @DamienAE hasn't mentioned a single thing about the visit. If it is renewed then new advertising people who know what they're doing need to be hired in place of the current people/person.

The official word on renewal so far is "moderate." Fifty/fifty chance basically.

reply

Scenes for next week said the Season Finale not the Series Finale, so maybe there is hope???

reply

That doesn't mean anything, the decision to renew or cancel often doesn't happen until weeks or even months after a season ends.

reply

We should know by the end of June. Until then, keep buying the episodes on iTunes because it DOES affect the show's chances of renewal. 20 Century Television is promoting the show with this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/damien-season-1/id1081941763?ign-mpt=uo%3D4

If they release the first season on Netflix there's a chance to make the series more popular. Most people discover new series on this platform.

Other than watching movies, I'm developing games and writing stories. Visit me at Blossomsoft.com

According to Glen, season 2 discussions are taking place, http://www.blastr.com/2016-5-10/exclusive-damien-showrunner-glen-mazzara-devilish-season-finale-what-comes-next.

After a game-changing finale, the immediate reaction viewers want to know is, when does Season 2 start, but you haven’t gotten the word yet. What are the prospects of Season 2?

GM: That’s being discussed between A+E and Fox 21 Television studios. I know I’m excited about it, and we have a great creative team of directors, writers, and actors who are ready to get back to work. I have a lot of ideas (see above) for what that season is, specific episodes and character arcs, I just hope we get that opportunity.

reply

Ohhhhh, this gives me so much hope. Thanks, oxalis!

Please, we need a second season!!!! There are still so many possibilities and unanswered questions!

reply

 yeah, I was jazzed when I read Glen's comment. Here's hoping 

reply

While the ratings might not be through the roof, there seems to be a small but growing/vocal fanbase for this show on social media.

I hope that helps in its renewal prospects.

Do you think shows get cancelled by some magical means other than parties actually discussing the issue?
