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.

LMAO on your Lethal Weapon rant. Much agreed, this show is a gem compared to some of the other shows Fox is churning out.
Please don’t cancel this series. It’s riveting and intelligently-written. Great cast, great storyline. I would hate to see it go.
Finally a show that’s not just about the supernatural but it makes you question how one is living their life. The creators and writers of this show have given us thrill, chills, and drama wrapped up in ribbon of spirituality. The amazing actors and cast have done a wonderful job. Thank you, all, thank you Fox.
Wait, what? pls don’t cancel this show . I don’t have a time to watch this on my TV, unfortunately, sometimes i’ve used the download.
I love this show! I’m hoping it doesn’t get cancelled, I think this time lot is not a good one, it would go nice as a companion to Lucifer.
Renew please!!!!!!
Best horror show ever. I’ve watched too many, but that… that’s incredible amazing. I hope fox give us more.
The Exorcist is an upscale, intelligent TV series, excellent cast, great plot, subplots, and editing. It is the fault of Fox TV for airing The Exorcist on Friday night’s when people are traditionally out. Not everyone records TV to watch when they feel like it especially with a new series. The show also is put on ITunes later than most other shows. We really hope that Fox realizes what a gem they have in the script writers, cast and give this show a chance to see how it does.
One of the best horror show in years. CAN NOT CANCEL. Love the twist please keep it going. Great actors and writers. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
FANTASTIC! This series is far superior to most horror movies and horror series I’ve seen on TV, even better than some that I truly love, such as AHS. The writing, the character development, and the acting are all way above what one usually sees. Up there with the Walking Dead. Bravo!
