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.
I enjoyed the show very much! I hope they bring it back.
i love the exorcist. please bring it back.
loved it & look forward to season 2. make up & costume & special effects were great & I thought the acting was good. the story line & characterization kept me interested the whole time.
This was one the best shows I have seen in years. Research was great effects amazing casting incredible. It would be a injustice to cancel this program.
If you guys didn’t get the ratings you wanted blame in on marketing because the show speaks for itself.
Great job
This is one of FOX’S greatest shows. They would be smart to keep it running for as long as the story can be told.
