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.

5/12/17 update: FOX has renewed The Exorcist TV show for a second season. Details here.
Loved the twists, references to original exorcist, suspense, not too gorey! Please go for Season 2
Great show! I love a good horror story! There is definitely not enough of them and this one has a great story line. Pls give 5a second season!
I love the Exorcist series, enjoyed it thoroughly! Very good acting. Def want to see a season 2!
I think the series was done very well, I enjoyed every episode and I’d hate if FOX cancels the series.
I love this series! Can’t wait to see the next season. To me the best performances are the two exorcists, the priest who plays the security of the Pope and the rich lady who wants to be the leader of the satanic cult.
My husband and I, always wait with excitement to watch together every Friday. ☺
im honestly really hoping for a season 2 PLEASE DONT CANCEL.

I DVR’d the show and am watching the season again. It is really well done. Kudos to Fox! Can’t wait for Season 2! Please don’t let us down.
Actually, I’m quite pleased with the way this show is going. We were skeptical at first after all, look what they had to compare, the original! Let’s hope it returns for season two.
