What’s next for The Exorcist? Recently, creator Jeremy Slater spoke with Variety about the future of the FOX TV series.
Based on the classic horror film, the drama follows two priests who team together to solve a terrifying case of demonic possession. The cast includes Ben Daniels, Alfonso Herrera, Kurt Egyiawan, Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Brianne Howey, and Hannah Kasulka.
In the interview, Slater said he has plans for more seasons:
The idea of doing a serialized show where every single year is just another possession and next season, we’re moving one block down and a different family is having this happen to them — your eyes would glaze over so fast. I don’t know how to write that show and I don’t know who would want to watch that show. In this first year we’re giving the audience something recognizable and relatable, but hopefully by the time a few episodes have gone by, you’ll start to understand how we’re creating an engine that can run for several years.”
He revealed that he plans on having characters return for a possible second season:
It could be. The goal is not to tell an anthology story, because I don’t think this is “American Horror Story.” The characters who survive this first season and still have story left to tell, you will absolutely see them again going into Season 2. I think our two priests, Marcus and Tomas, are probably going to be the spine of the show going forward. But the idea is to aggressively tell a new story every single season.”
FOX has not announced whether The Exorcist will have a second season or not. However, the outlook is dim. So far, season one has earned an average rating of .74 in the 18-49 demo and 2.125 million viewers.
What do you think? Are you watching The Exorcist?
Awesome show, Can’t Get Enough, telling everyone I know about this thrilling new series
The Exorcist well what can i say i loved it and cannot wait for season two.
Whats the hold up… Give us viewers what we want!
Please bring back the show I found it very interesting. Eyes were locked and mind focused each episode. Thanks for season 1.
Fox youve taken a lot of good shows and left the crappy ones….and if they werent crappy u mafe them crappy by changing the characters
Please don’t cavern the Exorcist. I was captivated by all the,support stories surrounding each character. I,am a true horror film nut and usually skeptical when they try to put in on the small screen. N9w i need more!
Please bring the exorcism! It was one of the few shows that kept my interest and wanting more after every episode. The cast was incredible. I don’t give you this compliment lightly in that I an a huge fan of the movies as well as other horror films. We need more things to be afraid of that are true. fantasy instead of all the horror that goes on in our life
day to day. Thank you. Yvonne Harlan
I agree with all the positive comments about the show and do believe all this reality-based tv blows. This is a good show as was “Raines” but was canceled after 1 season. Who do they have as critics in the major networks, teenage shut-ins who live life through reality-tv ?
PLEASE, PLEASE, DON’T CANCEL THE EXORCIST. THIS IS A GOOD WATCH AND KEEPS YOU WANTING MORE, I COULD’T GET ENOUGH OF IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF THE EXORCIST MOVIES AND WAS EXCITED WHEN I HEARD OF A TV-SERIES. ITS SO ANNOYING THAT WE HAVE ALL THESE “REALITY SHOWS” AND ARE CONTINUED FOR YEARS, BUT A GOOD SHOW THAT’S WORTH WATCHING, MAY NOT COME BACK. I SAY KEEP IT COMING!!!!
Please don’t cancel the exorcist it’s one of the best shoes on, maybe it’s the day or the time slot that didn’t catch the viewers, give it another season at least!
There are so few shows for grownups. Those of us who love supernatural, but NOT teenage shows like Supernatural. PLEASE, let us have this one show.
My family of six, four boys, myself and my fiance absolutely loved the show! The story line of the Catholic Church as a cover was a great idea! Episodes were crazy creepy yet looked so real,amazing special effects. Love the cast! Waiting for season 2!!!
Please continue 🙂
More people liked the show than you think, I’m sure, ending it with a second season would be spot on, great show by the way, I’m a big fan of the film and this show done it justice, “we want more”.
Pleases do not cancel this series. I loved it. I bring watched it on Hulu. I couldn’t get enough. It was riveting. I am a horror film/ show junky. This was a well thought out show. Loved it. The only thing I would love to see Is Linda Blair in a cameo.
I Love this show. Please continue the series. We horror fans love it!
I want a season 2 that show is so good
