How to watch the Omen movies in order

The Omen is a landmark horror franchise about the Antichrist child Damien. With sequels, a remake, and a 2024 prequel, a watch order helps you follow the prophecy from the start.

The Omen terrified audiences with the story of Damien Thorn, a child who may be the Antichrist. The original series traced his rise from ominous boy to powerful man, and the franchise later added a remake and a chilling prequel exploring the conspiracy behind his birth.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows the classic series, the remake, and the recent prequel as they arrived.

  1. The Omen (1976)
  2. Damien: Omen II (1978)
  3. Omen III: The Final Conflict (1981)
  4. Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)
  5. The Omen (2006, remake)
  6. The First Omen (2024)

The First Omen is a prequel, so the in-universe timeline begins before the 1976 original.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Story chronology starts with the prequel's origins before following Damien through the original trilogy.

  1. The First Omen (2024) β€” set in 1971, before Damien's birth
  2. The Omen (1976) β€” Damien as a young child
  3. Damien: Omen II (1978) β€” Damien as a teenager
  4. Omen III: The Final Conflict (1981) β€” Damien as an adult
  5. Omen IV: The Awakening (1991) β€” a later continuation

Which Order Should You Choose?

For a first watch, begin with the 1976 original and follow the trilogy β€” it's a masterclass in slow-building dread. The First Omen makes an excellent prequel either before or after the classics. Treat the 2006 remake and Omen IV as optional extras for dedicated fans.
