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.
2nd season please! Great show
Please second season for the excorist! Great show!
We need a season 2!!!!!
I think this show is beautifully written and they did a really good job making a believable jump from the original movie to the series. If the original writers could have done this the Movie franchise might have been more successful. I truly hope it gets renewed for a second season.
one of the best shows on tv. great cast and very real acting. please renew this wonderful realistic show.
omg casey rance is my gf, i want to see her again next season please continue the series
Season 2pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
When will we know when this show will be canceled or renewed?!
Please, Please renew this series i’ve been waiting for a good show like this to come on. If fox cancels this series they will be sadly mistaking………
Yes, please renew The Exorcist for another series. I have watched all the episodes, and have been very impressed with it overall. The special effects were brilliant. Geena Davis is classy, Ben Daniels is a very good British actor (starred in Law & Order UK). The actor who plays Father Ortega is very good, and extremely handsome – very much like a young Antonio Banderos! The girls playing Regan’s daughters were really impressive. I cannot fault it, and think it fully deserves renewal.
Love it. Please do a season 2.
“The Exorcist” is a brilliant show with excellent writers and superb acting. There is so much potential for the two priests (Father Tomas Ortega and Father Marcus Keane) in a Second Season and to continue with stars such as Geena Davis and her on-screen Rance family, as well as to move onto other families and to examine the various stages of demonic activity – infestation, obsession, oppression, and possession – (listed based (up)on increase in severity and seriousness) according to the Catholic Church’s own teaching regarding demonic entities. “The Exorcist” is one of the few shows my family and friends… Read more »
