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.

5/12/17 update: FOX has renewed The Exorcist TV show for a second season. Details here.
Renew it. Love the show.
Cancel it. Bad scripts, insult to original.
The Exorcist is the best show on TV. The acting is great, and every episode ends with you wanting to see another!
This show was awesome! The first to show what is actually happening to the person while being seduced and possessed by a demon. The realism of the of the priest dealing with human temptations such as sex, was a excellent decision in the writing. In other words, please please do another Season!
Please have another season it’s brilliant ☺
Love this show! Definitely creepy and twists. Please have another season!
Love the show look forward to watching it alone….please come back.
Renewed!! Love this show!
Please bring back for season 2!
I love the show. It’s sassy, smart, and I can’t wait to see the next episode. I would suggest changing the day to a Thursday, instead of a Friday night. You might be able to capture some more viewers
Never was a huge horror fan, but Supernatural turned out to be one of my favorite shows. Tuned into the Exorcist, and was pleasantly surprised. The show has great characters. The best thing about them is they are all too human. Father Thomas, and Father Marcus two very different men, but their chemistry is great, love watching them interact. Love the nuns as well. The fact that they know the demons are real, and everyone would think them crazy is the best part, because the show seems very reality based. Always liked Gina Davis, and the big plot reveal, never… Read more »
The show is true to the movie and respectful to faith. The writers are terrific with swerves. I am usually …I can always predict television show outcomes, until, “The Exorcist.” Episode (5) five ….stunner. The latest episode did not see the possessed’s head spin; but then ….Spoiler…. Raegan’s mother’s head was twisted around by the newly re-possessed Raegan….Stunner… AGAIN! I applaud the writers and cast for the swerves; I like their unpredictable storylines. “The Exorcist” should be renewed.
