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.

I actually enjoyed this series. In the last couple of years I have been unable to commit to watching any series regularly but I did enjoy this one and I hope it comes back for another season.
I am not a TV series watcher. But I have to say I looked forward to watching this show every week. This show kept me on the edge of my seat. Love it. Please have a season 2. From a true horror fanatic this show is the best.

Yes they should fox doesn’t realize how long I kept that on my DVR period when people finally heard about it they were not able to see the show. So I would invite them over to watch the show with me. One night I had 25 people over just to see the show and so many other people out there I have heard didn’t get a chance to see it and if you don’t have a DVR you’re not going to get to see it. Fox please bring it back.
