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.
Keep it! This is the first horror show that I watch on a regular basis! The storyline, the special effects, the characters, and the superb acting you MUST renew! I am 46 and this is a show I watch with a group of friends. Do NOT CANCEL!!!!
Love this series keep it coming !!!!!
Me and my family love the show we make it a family night thing but we watch it on Saturdays on Hulu
I absolutely love this show….I am 55, so i fall out of your age category that you think makes or breaks a show. My mom is 76, and she DVR’s it, so she doesn’t miss an episode.
Please keep this show going. So much better than the movie. Special effects are phenomenal, and the cast is awesome.
Ready for Season 2
Me & my boyfriend love it !

Loved this show. Looked forward to Friday nites. I love the scary factor and this series definitely delivers. Please keep it going.
I was sceptical at first (because the movie scared the s**t out of me) but I’ve come to love this show. I can’t wait for the new episode tonight. I hope this keeps going; although I am uncertain of how Fox can keep it going. Regardless, I will watch it until they call it quits!
I cannot believe that this show has scored such a bad rating!! I absolutely love it!! I can only think of 2 reasons people are not watching, they don’t know about it or they are not true fans of demon possessions horror films
