10 Horror Franchises You Didn’t Realise Were Returning In 2024
1. The Omen
Not only is the Omen franchise returning this year, but that under-the-radar return is actually less than three months away.
Titled The First Omen, the movie has Arkasha Stevenson - best known for helming TV offerings such as Channel Zero and Legion - making her feature film directorial debut, with Stevenson having penned the picture along with Tim Smith and Keith Thomas.
A prequel effort, The First Omen will centre on Margaret (Servant's Nell Tiger Free), an American who uncovers a plot to usher in the birth of the Antichrist while she's working at a church in Rome, Italy. That's about all that's known about the film's plot, although one has to presume that, y'know, Margaret will come up short in trying to prevent the arrival of the Antichrist...
In terms of the rest of the cast, other announced names for The First Omen are Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Bill Nighy (Underworld), Tawfeek Barhom (Boy from Heaven), and the ever-great Ralph Ineson (The VVitch).
At present, The First Omen is scheduled for a 5 April release.
