Tonight marks the season finale of The Exorcist TV show on FOX. How’s this horror TV series been performing in the ratings? Should the network renew this series for a second season or, should it be cancelled instead?
Based on the 1973 feature film, The Exorcist TV show follows two very different priests. Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) is progressive, ambitious and compassionate. Meanwhile, Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) is relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his mission. Together, they tackle a family’s case of a horrifying demonic possession. The series also stars Kurt Egyiawan, Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Brianne Howey, and Hannah Kasulka.
The Exorcist series launched on September 23rd and attracted a 0.97 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.85 million viewers. Even for a Friday night series, this was a disappointing start in the ratings. Unfortunately, the ratings have only gotten worse as the season’s progressed.
In week two, the demo rating dropped nearly 40%, falling to a 0.6 rating with 1.976 million viewers. Some later episodes have risen to a 0.7 in the demo but total viewership has either remained about the same or dropped even lower. Episode seven hit a season low with a 0.6 in the demo and 1.61 million.
Based on these ratings alone, The Exorcist will surely be cancelled. It seems that fans’ best hope for a second season renewal is if the studio and network have found alternate ways of making this series profitable for them.
But, what do you think? Do you still like The Exorcist TV show? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season on FOX?
RENEW RENEW RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just have to have a season 2. Great show. Makes you think.
Would love a Season 2!!
Season 2 Would be superb and so on…
Please have a season 2!
If they can renew something as bad as American horror,,,why can’t they renew something that’s good
Please do renew it! Finally a a good TV secies on this topic!
This is a really good show! I hope they renew it.
I just watched all the shows on -demand really thought you handled the material well. Hope you don’t cancel, give it another season to take hold.
Fox please don’t cancel this show. I have very little to look forward to in life. Let me know if you need this notarized
This is why I try not to watch a series until they have had about 3 seasons. I find the interest in the plot lines and characters and then I don’t get to see what happens! That being said, I am involved with the characters but not fully satisfied with the direction the story was going. I hope they find a way to tweak the direction and keep it going for a few years, I think they have something here, they just need to find a way to sort the chaff and polish the plot and I am all in!
Omg there has to be a season 2 !
I just don’t understand how the likes of the Librarians is in a season 3?
Yet Quality shows like the exorcist ,Grimm,Teen wolf get either cancelled or shelved?? How does ratings work anyway ? I never watch any programme live I always record them to watch later mainly so I can skip through all the annoying adds but also so I can rewind and watch a scene again!
So Fox how about another series call it an Xmas gift let’s face it you can afford
So I watched an early episode, really really liked it but damned if the baseball playoffs and The World Series didn’t throw everything off. I knew I liked the show but after a few weeks, couldn’t even remember which network (or cable channel) was broadcasting it–and I watch ZERO other Fox shows so saw no promos to remind me. Finally found my way back, caught up on demand and caught the finale in real time. The timeslot was unfortunate, to say the least, but the show became pretty compelling with really excellent performances. The actors clearly energized one another. Fox… Read more »
