Whilst the series is a sequel to "The Omen" (1976) and ignores the sequels and "Omen-lore" that originally followed that film, it does draw from elements that were either mooted for or appeared in those sequels. For example, Damien is protected by a secret cabal that forms part of a successful company (not unlike the evil niche that Buher and his cohorts establish within Thorn Industries in "Damien: Omen II" that is ultimately joined by Damien in readiness for the third film) and the Daggers of Megiddo having been divided up so that no one person possesses all seven of them (not unlike a plot point in "Omen III: The Final Conflict"). Like "Omen II", the series places great emphasis on the importance of Bugenhagen as one of the only (or few) people (on the side of right and virtue) to have known how to destroy the Antichrist. The series also makes use of an unused idea for "Omen II": that Damien was placed in the guardianship of Robert Thorn's friend, the-then President of the United States and lived in The White House for a time. Importantly, Damien is struggling with his past and his identity (as briefly portrayed in "Omen II") and is also falling in love (as sort-of touched on in "The Final Conflict", although Damien here is far more troubled and innocent than Sam Neill's interpretation of the character).
