"Damien" Creator Glen Mazzara Is Rooting for His Antichrist7 of 9
On the various factions trying to control Damien:
Those different factions are in competition with each other. We're careful during the course of the season to introduce these different factions and different agendas who want to control Damien, but I'll be honest: In my mind, we have many, many more factions out there that haven't come to the foreground yet. That's part of the fun: Damien's presence stirs things up in a way that nobody can really control. It was a lot of fun to write that conspiracy aspect of the show. That's something I've always enjoyed from '70s cinema, that strong sense of conspiracy, and I really want the show to play as a psychological thriller. So, having competing factions circling around Damien, putting pressure on him, really adds a lot of drama to the show.
