A+E Networks held their annual upfront presentation and party late last
week and made a number of significant programming announcements on new
event series, new series, and new digital-only series. We'll cover some
of that here today. A&E has a new drama coming up called Damien,
that follows the adult life of Damien Thorn, the mysterious child from
the 1976 motion picture who has grown up seemingly unaware of the
satanic forces around him. Damien stars Bradley James as Damien Thorn (Homeland), along with Oscar® nominee Barbara Hershey (Once Upon a Time), Omid Abtahi (Better Call Saul) and Meganlyn Echikunwoke (House of Lies). HISTORY, A&E and LIFETIME greenlight the scripted event series Roots for a new generation of viewers to simulcast on all three flagship brands. Will Packer (Ride Along, Think Like A Man) joins as executive producer and original Roots cast
member and Emmy-award winning LeVar Burton boards as co-executive
producer. The event will air in 2016. Lifetime of course has new series UnReal coming up, launching June 1. The drama stars Shiri Appleby (Girls) and Constance Zimmer (House of Cards, Entourage)
and gives a fictitious behind-the-scenes glimpse into the chaos
surrounding the production of a dating competition program.
