An epic saga about the secret history of the 1930s American heartland, DAMNATION centers on the mythic conflict and bloody struggle between big money and the downtrodden, God and greed, charlatans and prophets.
The opening episode introduces Seth Davenport (Killian Scott, ’71’), a man masquerading as a small town Iowa preacher in the hopes of starting a full-blown insurrection against the status quo. Focused on his mission, he is unaware that an industrialist tycoon has hired a professional strikebreaker named Creeley Turner (Logan Marshall-Green, ‘Quarry’) to stop the uprising by any means necessary. But unbeknownst to those around them, these two men already share a secret bloody past.
The series also stars Sarah Jones, Chasten Harmon, Melinda Page Hamilton, Christopher Heyerdahl and Joe Adler. From executive producers Tony Tost (‘Longmire’), Adam Kane (‘American Gods’), James Mangold (‘Logan’) Guymon Casady (‘Game of Thrones’) and Daniel Rappaport (‘Office Space’) on behalf of Entertainment 360, the pilot was written and created by Tost and directed by and executive produced by David MacKenzie (Oscar(R) nominated ‘Hell or High Water’).
Universal Cable Productions co-produces the series with Netflix, who will have first-run rights to the series outside of the U.S.
