FOX seems to be trying to purify itself, today. In addition to cancelling Lucifer after three seasons, the network has also cancelled The Exorcist TV show after a two-season run. It seems they can’t give the Devil his due and pay Tim Allen, too.
An anthology drama, The Exorcist follows Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) and former priest Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) as they uncover evil. The season two cast also includes Kurt Egyiawan, Zuleikha Robinson, John Cho, Brianna Hildebrand, Li Jun Li, Christopher Cousins, and Cyrus Arnold.
Lucifer: A Look at the Ratings:
Ratings have always been low for The Exorcist and it looks like season two was the final nail in the coffin for FOX. Overall, the season averaged a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demo and 1.322 million viewers, and was down by more than 30% in both measures, in comparison to the first season.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed The Exorcist cancellation, as has show creator Jeremy Slater. Check it out.

very disappointed, really looked forward to season three! It was a well done show!
I’m so disappointed……. I love this show
The Exorcist is a GREAT show! There’s nothing on any other network or cable even remotely like it! Even though all of the actors, for the most part, are unknown, The Exorcist made us like them as well as care for the m almost b immediately. Good job on that! I will admit that season one totally slayed season 2, but season 2 was still great. I think somebody had the idea that the more plot twists and turns, the better. Not so. I’ll give one example of that, below. If it doesn’t cancel (fingers crossed) go with the writers… Read more »
