TV show description:
This psychological thriller TV series is based on the horror feature film from 1973 which itself was based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty. The story follows two very different priests as they tackle one family’s case of a horrifying demonic possession.
Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) is the new face of the Catholic Church. He’s progressive, ambitious and compassionate. Father Tomas runs a small, but loyal, parish in the suburbs of Chicago and he has no idea that his quiet life is about to change forever.
Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) is a modern-day Templar Knight. He’s an orphan who was raised by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. He is everything Father Tomas is not — he’s relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his mission. Father Marcus constantly butts heads with his adversary within the church, Father Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan).
Caught in the middle of these two very different priests is the Rance family, members of Tomas’ parish. On the surface, they’re a normal, American family, but all is not as it seems in this household.
Henry Rance (Alan Ruck) is the patriarch and is recovering from a traumatic injury. Eldest daughter Katherine (Brianne Howey), formerly a ballet dancer, has become a recluse who refuses to leave her room. Her younger sister, Casey (Hannah Kasulka), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the walls.
Their girls’ mother, Angela (Geena Davis), believes there is something in the house — a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate for help, she begs Father Tomas. Unwittingly, she sets the naïve young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus.
Separately, Tomas and Marcus face an insurmountable task. Together they become the Rances’ only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries.

What do you think? Do you like The Exorcist TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I think it’s a great show. I remember standing in line in the Chicago cold for 2 hours to see the original. Well worth it.
I think this is a great show, and very entertaining, if you like getting scared and spooked. I really hope they continue with it!
One of the best new series for the 2016 fall season!!! Great show!!
one of the best new series for the 2016 fall season!!! Great show!!
I love this show and hope it will be renewed
i love the show, i would have loved it even more if Linda Blair (w’memory block)(she did an episode of Supernatural and was so great) was the mother but maybe that would increase the ratings…….it’s very well acted especially Alan Ruck and Ben Daniels
I would like to see the show continue. Was that the finale on 10/21? If so then it has to have another season rather than leaving us hanging.
I love the show! I’m really into now. Well written. I LIKED THE SURPRISE WE HAD AT END OF EPISODE LAST WEEK! THAT WAS GREAT! Was wondering if they were going to weave any of the old in. I wasnt disappointed.
I LOVE THIS SHOW, MY FAVORITE
Very well written show. Characters are terrific. I see them developing a much more in depth story in addition to Casey’s possession. Really hope the show continues!!
Great show and better suspense then The walking Dead. I heard it wasn’t doing well..I think because it too good. The film made people not want to watch it alone. I hope it stays
I love this show!!! I hope it renews for another season
I like the show , but then i loved Damien on A&E and it was cancelled, so i hope this one stays but who can tell..
This is an extremely well written show; it draws you in bit by bit into the true nature of evil. Our characters are very real and could be the people next door. For those who love the “guts and gore” this is not the show for you. Each episode so far reminds me of the EJ Pratt poem about the fog creeping in silently on little cat’s feet. I do hope this show is not cancelled
good show. well done and exciting.
