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.

Renew please
This show is great for this type of genre.Really liked it.Please renew it for 2nd season.
I really enjoyed it, watched every episode and thought it took us on a journey that wasn’t predictable. For modern day TV & Movies, where I can typically see where the story is going miles ahead, a story twist is never really that. I don’t know if it’s b/c I love entertainment so much & watch a lot or writers, producers, directors, even actors etc. have become so unoriginal?? I’m just not sure. However, loving “horror”, thrillers, mystery genres especially and of course the original heart stopping “The Exorcist”…I thought I must give it a try and I like Geena… Read more »

Keep this show. No ifs, ands, or buts! Fox too away the Following which was an epic show, don’t take this one away too. Phenomenal acting, directing, writing, and storyline. Beginning was similar to the movie but then everything was totally different and that’s what makes it unique. I hope to see MANY more seasons and to see how far they can take it. COME ON FOX!!
My daughter and I love the show, the way the story was told and the actors was great. Would love to see a season two and more.
I love this series!!! It was well acted and a great story line. I’m ready to watch season 2 now. Excited to see what happens next.
Really looking forward to the next season, great plot line. Itn this modern version they make the possession and emotions feel real. Unexpected plot lines are good too. Just when I think I know what’s going to happen next, I’m bindsided, in a good way. I don’t watch too much TV because it’s not interesting, this serieskhad me where I couldn’t wait to watch the next episod. Really looking forward to another season! Make it happen!
I really enjoyed all of season one and hopefully, there will be a second season as well.
