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.

There are very few shows I like to watch. The Exorcist is one of them. I’m glued to the TV for a solid hour. I also look forward to watching every episode. Please, please renew this program for a 3rd season.

Great show….need another season…..come on people..start watching!!!!
Love this show!! There is nothing like it on any other channel. It’s suspensful and full of surprises. Has the horror without having to be gory. If you like the movie exorcist you will like season 1 and season 2! Please come back with a season 3!!
Put it on FX, it’s a suicide keeping this awesome show on a network like Fox !
They said writers have a 7 season arc I want to see where it goes. Just like fringe maybe fox will realize there is nothing wrong with a small loyal fan base. There is not much out there for this genre
Im really hoping for a 3,4,5 and so on…
I am really hoping for another season
THis show needs at least 7 seasons. It’s so good. Jaw drops during every episode.
