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.
I love this show, but the reason it was a hard sell – to both horror fans and non-fans – is the incorrect assumption that it is a clunky possession-of-the-week procedural instead of a gripping conspiracy horror/thriller that is a direct sequel to the original film.
PLS DONT LEAVE US HANGING! This is a really good tv series! I love it! A lot of people in my family are watching it too!
A brilliant show, there must be a second series.
Excellent show! Nothing like this on tv and better than any movie. Please please a second series and more!

I have to say this is an excellent series but rest asure the Vatican wouldn’t approve of it maybe something in there is Tru or not but I know one thing who ever made this happen really knows the truth … we are with u we are many we are legion of god and he is coming so b prepared to face the his son and ask for forgiveness that is all he asks of you
Renew!! Most awesome show — time slot poor for watching on time but would catch up on DVR. Perfect amount of creepy factor and well paced
renew! Just hasn’t caught on with everyone yet…very well done show and ALL with faith in GOD should be aware that the devil exists as well and is always up to no good…spirit of jealousy in others / others weaknesses, etc….the acting is excellent…especially the older priest..don’t know him but good actor!
