Telly’s Take
This show premiered with much lower numbers than last year and the ratings then dropped even lower. The numbers are terrible, even for a Friday show. I think that it will be cancelled but then, the ratings were awful last year too. Going just by the numbers, the second season is a Nielsen miracle. I’m no longer letting this series whet my highly excitable appetite. Instead, I’ll keep a hungry (but jaded) eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Were you hoping that The Exorcist TV show would be renewed for a third season? Are you sorry that FOX cancelled this TV series, instead?
I need a season 3 of the exorcist!!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!
Renew the show
Not renewing the series = Lack of grit
“No. You can’t just cancel a show like The Exorcist! You know? You have to help the viewers let go. Firefly did a movie to wrap things up. Buffy the Vampire Slayer continued on as a comic book. Heroes gradually lowered the quality season by season till we were grateful it ended.”
Seriously Fox, way to disappoint! *shm*
Please come out with the third season of Exorcist. I’m in love with the series, don’t leave Me/Us hanging like this.
Finish season 3 of the exorcist. I need to see more. I absolutely loved this series.
This is one of my favorite series and I need to see more. A bunch of my work friendsand I have watched this over and over.
I love this show! You cannot leave us hanging not knowing what happened to Marcus and Thomas!
Please , please make season 3, I thought the script and acting was awesome, there is so much you can do with this story line, give it a chance and this show will become a classic !!
Please make season three. The last episode was amazing! The scene where the priest spoke on behalf of their father was very powerful. How can you end such an amazing series, that has been building so much, with such a cliff hanger!?!?!?!
F you for cancelling one of best new shows,
I hope you get possessed and no father Marcus helps you *******
太失望了，这么好看的剧就这么砍了！FOX, disappointment as usual！
FOX, again, you’re a disappointment as usual. You’re putting a good on the rocks because it slips a little bit? Well, I’m many are feeling the same as I about this television series. Th Exorcist like Lucifer if an awesome show. Ever time I like a show, it seems like FOX does not and it drops the show Bring it back I say.
Please continue with season 3!!! I loved this show, as it was refreshingly different from other horror shows, filled with pointless jump scares. The show actually had an intriguing storyline w/great actors. I feel that ratings were low b/c the show was not fairly advertised! Even persons I know that love horror movies weren’t aware of the show. Great show but needed more exposure.
Please renew for season 3 and beyond
This programe is brilliant
You cant leave us hanging wondering what happens next
