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?
Yes I would love a season 2 I waiting I enjoy this show!!
Yum,a yesss, I loved it. And my daughter and I are patiently awaiting in the new season
For the love of all that is holy do not cancel Exorcist. Season 1 opened a whole world of where the show could go and I can’t wait to see where they take it. I will be very disappointed if it doesn’t make the cut, I will forever wonder what God had in store for these two priests and why they were brought together as a team other than their 1st mission. And what about the demon who took over the mayor, she finally got what she wanted and her story ends there???? No there has to be more. Just… Read more »
Please do a season 2. Finally a show that takes you out of your comfort zone and insights fear from within. In depth characters lead you through their journy, make you a part of it, leaving you wanting more. The “church” is so touchy and somewhat taboo. You have something here, don’t let it go…
I am definitely hooked on the new Fox TV show “The Exorcist!” I’m not one who usually goes for demonic type shows or movies, but I absolutely love this show!! I can’t get enough of it and am looking forward to seeing season 2. (Please air that season FOX!!)

Yes, Please renew this show!!!! It was amazing and the acting and special effects were spot on!!!!
I loved this from the beginning. Yes, it did have a couple of teething troubles as most first seasons do, but sticking with it made it worthwhile.
I truly hope we do have a season two because the characters have more mileage in them.
So do us a favour Fox and red light a second series. We know you want to
