Is The Exorcist ending for good? Executive producer Jeremy Slater recently announced season one of the FOX TV series has finished filming.
Based on the 1973 horror film, the drama follows two priests who team together to solve a terrifying case of demonic possession. The cast includes Ben Daniels, Alfonso Herrera, Kurt Egyiawan, Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Brianne Howey, and Hannah Kasulka.
On his Twitter, Slater posted a farewell to season one of The Exorcist and urged fans to help get the low-rated series a second season:
Final day of filming. This show has been my entire life–16 hours a day, seven days a week–for the last year. Saying goodbye sucks. pic.twitter.com/XjKQ2ytPXJ

So far, FOX has not made an announcement about The Exorcist‘s renewal status. However, the series has not been performing well in the ratings. Seven episodes in and it’s earned an average of .70 in the 18-49 demo and only 2.016 million viewers.
What do you think? Are you watching The Exorcist? Do you want a second season?
Please don’t cancel this show Fox! My girlfriend and I are avid horror fans and I’d say this is the best horror TV show since season 1 of AHS. Please just market it better and move it to a better time slot and watch the viewers pour in.
Man i hope u guys give this a chance. Im 54 and my son is 19 and we always watch this show together. We both love it and never miss it. We even watch the commercials lol. PLEASE do not cancel this show as it is a winner.
Good show. Give it a chance the storyline has much promise. Good acting and a great change from the stupid stuff that fills the airwaves. I’m hoping it gets another season
Please keep the show going for as many seasons possible..its the new best Show on tv….why all the good shows are being cancelled based on their first season ratings, it shouldn’t be that way. Allow good shows build their fan base in advertising. I think its unfair due to the fact some shows have no synopsis of good written characters doesn’t matter the genre and is still continues to be aired.
With it being aired on Friday nights, the odds were against it from the start. In my opinion, they really should’ve tried to get it on Netflix or Hulu, or another streaming only platform. I’ve been keeping up with the show since it aired, and while I have my quarrels with some of it, it is a fun little show that satisfies my love for the movie.
I am 46 and I am hooked on this series! I hope that it continues I am getting frustrated with the fact that i get into a show and the network cancels it!!
This is the best show on television right now. While it is a great storyline, the genius of this show is the superb acting; while the headline performances of Alfonso Herrera and Geena Davis are terrific, the gifted range of Hannah Kasulka is remarkable and Ben Daniels’ execution is nothing short of transcendent. It absolutely deserves to be renewed, but desperately needs to be slated somewhere else on Fox’s lineup between Monday-Thursday, even if they have to run it at the 10p timeslot. FOX took a giant risk green-lighting this series but will fail to reap their due rewards since… Read more »
I absolutely love this show! Its the second best show on TV next to Gotham. My wife and I will be extremely disappointed if it is canceled.
Growing up terrified of the original film, and now watching this exorcist Tv series connect to that, not only excites me and gets me more excited for what’s to come, but it also brings me back to when I was little….oh, please don’t cancel I get excited ever Friday night to watch it!
My mom and I love the exorcist show. I’m really hoping for a season two! We love scary movies/shows and I would says this is better than American horror story. Amazing show and great cast!
Me and my wife love this new series. I never expected an exorcists series to do so well but I took a chance and watched the pilot . I was immediately hooked on the show.I even got my cousin hooked on it. I don’t know if it makes a difference but I watch episodes on HULU. Please don’t cancel the show. If anything advertise it more.
Love the show
Amazing Show. Scary. What AHS used to be and should strive to be again. Please keep this show for season two!
Incredible show. Scary. What AHS should strive to be. FOX, please renew for season 2!
Please make a season two. I’m sick and tired of getting hooked on a show and then just left hanging. Come on people at least end it for us so we have closer. Geez!!!!!
They’ll be wrapping up this story line anyway. The ep said he wanted to go into a new story line featuring the priests in season 2 if they get it. So either way we’ll know what happens to casey and regan.
