Q&A with 'Damien' showrunner Glen Mazzara on potential plotlines
@bradleyjames.fanclub / bradleyjames.fanclub / bradleyjames.ru recently had the opportunity to interview Damien show runner Glen Mazzara on what might have been had the show been renewed beyond series one. So much potential.... :(

bradleyjames.fanclub: I would like to thank the showrunner Glen Mazzara for his time and for his patience in tolerating me with all these questions. It's been almost three weeks, but I'm still feeling excited and my imagination keeps rolling. #Damien TV series didn't deserve to be cancelled so soon as it could have developed in something fantastic. All I can do is hope that maybe someday... I hope you will enjoy reading those Q&A as much as I did. (2 April 2021).
Q: In some interviews both Bradley and yourself mentioned that he was given the script bit by bit and only closer to the finale he requested to be provided with the idea of how the things would turn. But did he ask it for the entire plot or just for S1?
GM: Bradley got the scripts as we published them. He’s saying he didn’t want to know ahead of time what was going to happen. That’s how I run all my shows so it’s not unique to Damien.

As “Damien” has been added to FOX UK network I was browsing through the old interviews with the cast and crew. And one thing has attracted my attention - in his interview to Collider the showrunner Glen Mazzara said that Damien could go for five seasons or more. Although the show has been cancelled after the first season, which was a great disappointment to all fans, it seemed that not a single word has been ever said about any possible plot development in any of those interviews. After doubts and hesitation, I’ve made a post on Twitter where I asked Glen Mazzara if he could answer some questions. I would like to thank him once more for his dedication and kindness, as he was able to share some information. Our exchange of questions and answers you can read below.
