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: 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.
Absolutely love this series. My whole family is watching as well as my coworkers. Please renew. Give it another season. As people talk about it more are watching.
Even taking into account that it is a Friday show, the ratings are PUTRID The show needs to be CANCELLED. Ratings aren’t everything, but the show should be close to a 1.0 for renewal, and it is way far away.
I loved the whole season. Would like to see more.
Really like this series, looking forward for the next season episode. Two thumbs up for the director of the show, the casts and the full team behind the scene.
I’m looking forward to the second season.
I’m absolutely all for another season of The Exorcist. It was highly entertaining and fabulously done. The story line and dialogue was superb. Bravo! Although I do record The Exorcist and usually watch it the next day; this is the only series that I’ve recorded, watched & kept all the episodes.
PLEASE give this awesome show a second season! The Exorcist TV Show needs more publicity and promotion on FOX. The actors are amazing, especially Ben Daniels, and Geena Davis totally rocked it. Everyone was excellent, the storyline intriguing, the pacing, atmosphere, top notch. RENEW, RENEW, RENEW!
This is the best series I have ever seen. I was very scared when I first saw the movie as a teen, now as an adult, this is even scarier. Better than Supernatural, better than an other same type series. I hope Fox keeps it on. It gives us hope that “THEY will not win, today”….
Love show! Keep, Keep! Ben Daniels is amazing..
This is one of my top shows i love it please do not cancel it.
