I know it’s easy to get angry at Fox, but the reality is that we were the lowest-rated drama on any network and they still brought us back for a second season, because they loved the show. There are no bad guys in this scenario.

I was lucky enough to work with the greatest collection of writers, actors, artists and crew that anyone could ask for. Our amazing fans supported us every step of the way. I made lifelong friends and 20 hours of pretty good television. That’s not a bad legacy at all.

At the end of the day, all I can feel is gratitude for every single member of the #ExorcistCongregation who followed us on this unbelievable adventure. I wish we could have given you a proper ending, but the characters belong to you now. You decide how their story ends.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Exorcist? Do you think it deserved a third season?
I am very disappointed that there will be no 3rd season of “The Exorcist”. The show was a great continuation of the horror classic and gave it ,not just justice, but the continuation of a story that deserves to go on and on! The story line is limitless because ,in my humble opinion, the subject will always be a interesting and worth while one! I will miss watching it late at night not being able to sleep for fear of a demon waiting in my dreams.
The story was so deep it had so much Togo off of
We need a season three !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s always about the money! I still don’t understand how so many people love to watch horror movies but then a quality and quite accurate series about demonic possession comes out and they cancel it because of low ratings or views! This show is better than It, the Nun and the exorcist and it is also a chilling but very authentic message to us all about our inner demons and the way we are tempted by Satan himself in the interpretation of our history! This show is a message of hope, of good triumphing over evil and very actual for… Read more »
I hope Netflix or Hulu (which it streams on ) picks it up ! I’m very sad! Definitely my fav horror show along with AHS!
I am so sad that The Exorcist will not be returning for Season 3!!!!! I thought that the actors did an awesome job and the storylines were fantastic! I’m hoping Netflix (or some other network/streaming service will pick it up and give us more!!!!
Was my absolute favorite show… I wanted to see what became of Father Bennett and Father Tomas!!!
At least Hannibal got an ending, sort of.
They’re cancelling the wrong shows!!
I was anticipating a 3rd season for a while but I guess I got the news very late. I love this show, the characters (actors) did an awesome job. The stories are jaw dropping and scary, llease bring it back. We desrve it!
I loved the show, and I’m saddened that it will not be returning for a third season. Maybe it can be picked up by Netflix. I sure would love to see them turn up somewhere. #Imissthemall.
I loved this show !! was so disappointed to hear no Season 3 !!
Really bummed out about the show’s cancellation, I loved it. Wished we would’ve gotten at least one last season.
Another disappointing cancellation. Too many good shows are getting the boot and yet some dumb ass reality shows stay on.
Man, how disappointing. This is a show that my husband and I watched faithfully. What about the fans? Can we have at least a three part show that explained all of the unanswered questions? Wow! So unexpected.
Man! How disappointing. Really, to me, that show was definitely watch worthy. That’s just about the only series that my husband and I, watch together. I hate that the show is ending with so many unanswered questions. The fans deserve to at least have some type of resolution. How about a three part storyline that last about two hours or something?
I can appreciate Mr Slaters gracious comments about the cancellation of The Exorcist, however what about the fans? We are commited to this show. To just leave it end like it did wasn’t good. We were anticipating the path the show was going to follow. So many unanswered questions! We, the fans are always the ones that loose. We invest our time and energy into these shows and then poof they’re gone. I can name SO MANY shows that have been cancelled that way. Can’t they look into a different network or something like Netflix or Hulu?? I think all… Read more »
I totally agree- loved this show.
Just goes to show, we can’t invest in a series, all the good ones cancel… Stock to movies from now one..
