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?
Please renew this show. I love it and look forward to seeing it.
Loved the show…please,please, give it a chance!
It’s the best programme on TV right now! Please make more!
For the love of god (pun intended) please make another season of this show!!!
It would be a sin for this series to end. I have eyes, fingers and toes crossed that it will be back. Ben Martin is compelling as Marcus Keane, as is Geena Davis. Grab your rosaries, light your candle’s and get caught up on your penance – time to pray hard for season two.
I am on the edge of my seat ….an still waiting to see what happens next ….please keep the season going!!
I sure hope there is a season two! This show was awesome!!!!!! Keep them coming!!!!!
Absolutely love the show, very much hoping that it returns it is truly is wonderfully awesome
Great show, terrific actors , love that is something different on tv and not the same old type of shows, please bring season 2, at least give it a chance I think it will keep getting better and also more viewers, everyone I know loves it so I don’t understand why the ratings are so low !!!
Please have a second season. Love this show. It is a show that I can look forward to. Nothing else much on tv. Everything else is getting too drab.
Please do another season!!! I Loved it!!!!!
Love the show! I hold a sentimental spot in my heart for the exorcist as it was the first movie I ever saw in a theater and with my aunt who is now deceased. So in an odd way the movie and this series is nostalgic for me. The series is scary, thought provoking and timely with the under story of corruption in the Catholic Church. Please bring it back, would be interesting to see where it will go outside of just the actual exorcisms…
I stopped watching the Walking Dead becuse if this show. It’s compelling. Like “Hannibal” I was insulted that they thought they could make a classic into a show. I was wrong. So good and love how they weaved in Reagan
Please keep the seasons coming, best show in a while I love it so much!!!
This is a great show. It is done extremely well with superior writing and acting. I hope they do a second season. I hate it when they cancel quality shows!!
