While some cable channels have found great ratings success with horror shows, the broadcast networks have often struggled with the genre. How will FOX do with The Exorcist? Will it be a hit or a flop? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Based on the 1973 feature film, The Exorcist follows two very different priests. Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) is progressive, ambitious and compassionate. Meanwhile, Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) is relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his mission. Together, they tackle a family’s case of a horrifying demonic possession. The series also stars Kurt Egyiawan, Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Brianne Howey, and Hannah Kasulka.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Exorcist TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season on FOX?
5/12/17 update: FOX has renewed The Exorcist TV show for a second season. Details here.
Father Marcus for Pope! I love him.
Great show! Would love to watch it more often than once in a week. Waiting for season 2 already.
I love this show please keep it…. not sure how things are rated cause like me a lot of people now watch things on demand… I don’t watch it when it airs but get it through the Fox Now app… are those things counted too in ratings?
I’m going too keep postings on here as many times I need to because this show is the best show on TV. SO DON’T CANCEL IT PLEASE WE LOVE THE SHOW!!!!!!!
Fox ALWAYS ahead of the curve taking chances with new series ,this one excellent and scary just the way it is suppose to be !!
I really love the show but maybe it is to much for american people… they are always so “correct and religious” that maybe thats a good reason to cancel the show. double moral
This is the first network series that I have watched since the beginning since early 2000’s.. Geena Davis’s character is always changing and keeping me at the edge of my seat..LOVE IT..
Cancel, please! It’s gotten ridiculous!
Love this show. I pray it’s not canceled. All the actors are great and each episode we watched kept us glued to our sits. Why take away a great show?!?
Like the cast, like the show, tired of shows I like and watch being cancelled.
FYI – I make the purchasing decisions in my household and there are fewer things for me to watch on network tv…. tell that to the ad folk
I like the show …but the most important is “Does american people like the show?” No feeling for the american business …sadly
Please renew, this is one of the best TV show I watched.
Please renew, this is one of the best TV show I watched.
I feel like the low ratings are more a commentary on the state of television than anything else… I’m loving the show, but my family and I watch it usually a few days after it releases, on other programs.
NOOOO!!! Don’t cancel the show. It’s just getting started.
