Get ready for some scary news. The Exorcist TV show has been renewed for a second season on FOX.
Based on the 1973 film, the horror drama follows two priests as they try and tackle a horrifying demonic possession. The cast includes Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels, Kurt Egyiawan, Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Brianne Howey, and Hannah Kasulka.
Ratings for The Exorcist were never very good. Airing on Friday nights, the show only earned an average rating of 0.68 in the 18-49 demo and 1.91 million viewers, making it one of FOX‘s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.
What will season two be about? Back in December, series creator and executive producer Jeremy Slater said, “I love these characters and this world and I have a lot more story to tell… My general response is that the characters that survive 9the first season] finale and still have interesting stories to tell — you will absolutely see them again in the future if we have one. Partially because I think we’ve create a big and exciting world with a mythology that we barely begun to scratch the surface of, and I think there are stories to be told in this world to be told for years to come.”
What do you think? Did you see The Exorcist? Do you think it should’ve been cancelled? Are you glad it’s been renewed for a second season?
Well I watched it and feel like they have to put more action into the show. It wasn’t bad just needs a little more to hold interest.
I saw it, I actually thought it was rotten. I do remember the movie, it definitely doesn’t compare. I can’t believe FOX renewed the Exorcist and cancelled Rosewood, the ratings were almost identical
Kim,
You’re an idiot. Have a nice day.
I am thrilled that you have renewed The Exorcist.When does it come back? YEAH!!!!
They cancel Rosewood and Sleepy Hollow and renew this ?? How can they say ratings keeps or cancels?
Thank you so much Fox for renewing this brilliantly filmed and acted show! Let the stories continue! I can’t wait for Season 2.
This is GREAT NEWS! I think it’s one of the best shows on television. Fantastic writing and acting. Every episode looks great, too: very cinematic!
Maybe FOX will wise-up and give it a better slot. Sunday nights would be fab (and ironic). Pazuzu would be amused.
I like the show, but I would have rather seen Rosewood be renewed instead of this show.
LOVE this show the Exorcist. Thank you for renewing it and giving it a chance. Brilliantly done!
Enjoyed this series,great it’s been renewed! Look forward to watching.
SO GLAD that The Exorcist has been renewed! The show is brilliant. Thank you FOX!!!
Could have renew Sleepy Hollow instead
Love the show, thrilled!
Yeah, was really worried it wouldn’t get renewed….was scary and gross (sometimes) but really liked the actors and the characters they played
So so glad for the renewal! One of my favorite shows. Thanks so much
I think it should’ve been cancelled. I’d prefer FOX pilots THIN ICE and/or BEHIND ENEMY LINES.
Keep the story going…..too much left hanging! Thanks!
