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?
Love this series, the acting, the writing, the plot. Keep this series going..
Love the Excorcist. Season 3. PLEASE !!!
BEST SHOW ON TV
I absolutely love this series. There is nothing like it out there. It is original, the story is solid and the acting is phenomenal. FOX is notorious for getting rid of amazing shows. Please do not make another mistake. DO NOT CANCEL THE EXORCIST!!!!
Love this series!!! Do not cancel the Exorcist
I love this show it brings back memories of the 90’s when they had scary shows like the X files and the twilight zone.
Please I pray (no pun intended) do not cancel this wonderfully scary show. It keeps me at home watching tv and your precious commercials.
Bring it back
I love this show. I even watch the reruns in case I miss anything. Please, I beg you please, don’t concel the show.
Glad to see FOX is renewing this show. I won’t take this show for granted in the future. I will do my best to get my friends watching this show. Any person who loves horror would love The Exorcist. Hopefully next year, the ratings will be better.
Sometime a great show needs time to build an audience. One of the things about Season 1 was the way the story drew the audience in bit by bit. In Canada “The Exorcist” was fairly popular but unfortunately our ratings don’t count in an American’s network rating system.
I just finished reading “The Exorcist” is renewed.
One of my favorite shows please don’t cancel.
One of my favorite shows definitely want it to return with many seasons to follow. PLEASE BRING IT BACK !!!
Love love love this psychological thriller. Addicted !!!
Keep the show, I love this show, I DVR them all and watch without commercials There is any shows that even come close. I have watched them several times Please I’m addicted to this show
