TV show description:
This psychological thriller TV series is based on the horror feature film from 1973 which itself was based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty. The story follows two very different priests as they tackle one family’s case of a horrifying demonic possession.
Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) is the new face of the Catholic Church. He’s progressive, ambitious and compassionate. Father Tomas runs a small, but loyal, parish in the suburbs of Chicago and he has no idea that his quiet life is about to change forever.
Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) is a modern-day Templar Knight. He’s an orphan who was raised by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. He is everything Father Tomas is not — he’s relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his mission. Father Marcus constantly butts heads with his adversary within the church, Father Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan).
Caught in the middle of these two very different priests is the Rance family, members of Tomas’ parish. On the surface, they’re a normal, American family, but all is not as it seems in this household.
Henry Rance (Alan Ruck) is the patriarch and is recovering from a traumatic injury. Eldest daughter Katherine (Brianne Howey), formerly a ballet dancer, has become a recluse who refuses to leave her room. Her younger sister, Casey (Hannah Kasulka), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the walls.
Their girls’ mother, Angela (Geena Davis), believes there is something in the house — a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate for help, she begs Father Tomas. Unwittingly, she sets the naïve young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus.
Separately, Tomas and Marcus face an insurmountable task. Together they become the Rances’ only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries.

What do you think? Do you like The Exorcist TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Love this show – 10 times better than American Horror Story in my opinion.
I think they should renew its great show .i love it .
Every time a good compelling show comes on they want to cancel it. Please consider having The Exorcist on another season or longer!!
My husband and I watched it weekly and recorded it to review it again if we disputed certain parts/characters. Especially in church matters with The Who’s & the what’s & the why’s!!
Waiting anxiously for Season 2 of The Exorcist……please hurry!
I think Exorcist to be renewed I really think its a very exiting series and keeps you wondering about the following eposides The actors are great and they do excellent job on the series please reconsider it for renewal. I watched every series and loved it.
I like the way the writers gradually unfold the story and draw us in. I agree that the show should be renewed.
i like the series,i think it keeps you intrigued!
Such a well-acted, compelling show. It is dark and intelligent. Please renew. Gina Davis is great and the young actors are as well.
LOVE this show! Please do not cancel!!! This is one of 3 series that I watch, and I love it!
Love the show. Do not cancel. If audiences look at it as a remake then they wont watch it. It is very well done and I hate scarey shows!!!!
Even my hard to please husband loves it.
Funny–we werent in on the deciding end!! As you kmow now polls mean nothing
Definitely continued.
AS A FAN OF THE HORROR GENRE THIS IS A COMPELLING, THRILLING
WELL ACTED SHOW THAT SHOULD BE CONTINUED……MORE MORE MORE.
The show also shows that it isn’t necessary to have all the guts and gore to keep us engaged.
I really enjoy The Exorcist. It should remain on FOX because there is so many things to see and come. It’s great to see an actual Catholic show doing so well. Season two must come. I’ve been watching every episode and when Hurricane Matthew came threw, I downloaded the FOX app to watch all the older series to the current series at that time.
I love the show! I hope there is more to come!
My daughter and I love this show. I hope it comes back. It was very interesting. The acting for the most part was very good. I hope it does not end after one season.
Love the acting, really great show, scared the pants off me, but still a great story and true depth to the characters
great acting and one of the best new shows..
