About The Omen
The Omen tracks Damien Thorn from adopted child to schoolboy to adult Antichrist across the original trilogy. The 1976 film sets the Thorn adoption, Damien from 1978 follows school years, and The Final Conflict from 1981 closes with adult Damien. The 2006 film remakes the original beat for beat with a new cast.
The First Omen from 2024 rewinds to Rome before the 1976 adoption as a prequel. Watch in release order so the prequel plays as an answer rather than a start. The TV pilot Damien from 2016 stays outside the film run as a separate continuation that was not renewed.
Good to know
Release order keeps the mystery intact, since the original hides what the prequel explains. Watch the trilogy first, then the remake or the prequel as alternates rather than required steps. The remake repeats the 1976 story, so pick one version on a first pass. The First Omen works best fourth or last because it spoils the adoption setup by design. No sixth film has been dated.
