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?
REniew it!!!!
This was an awesome show! Why does Fox find the need to get into a story and then just drop it like a bad habit? Everyone is going to get to the point that they no long watch these shows till it’s been on for a few seasons because no one enjoys getting invested in a show only to have a network pull the plug on it. Fox, CBS, you’re all the same.
I love this show !!! The actors are amazing!! Please keep it running !!!
PLEASE, Please Renew this show. It’s edgy, fantastic.
Renew, Renew, Renew, Renew
Please renew!! Very captivating thriller!!!
The Exorcist is on of the best TV shows to date. I can see it becoming a cult classic, and for that reason I hope the series continues beyond the first two seasons. I loved the tie in to the original movie, and the characters are so believable. With all the nominations this show has received, it show what a great series it is. Please listen to your fans and renew for the 3rd season and beyond.
This show has great acting, excellent special effects, good stories, and a positive view of the Catholic Church, with complex Church figures I enjoy. It’s also scarier than all get-out.
Please renew! It’s such an awesome show! Full of suspense and thriller!
I love this show. I enjoyed the movie and when this show was released I was hooked.
I love this show. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Please keep it.
I REALLY LOVED THIS SHOW SORRY TO SEE IT GO…WILL BE MISSED
I loved this show. I thought the first season was awesome and never thought they could outdo that but they did in season two. It’s so much more than what the original movie portrayed. They just need to keep on the same formula with the same great actors and I will be so excited for season 3. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL AND MAKE A SEASON 3.
LOVE THIS SHOW! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!
I hope that this show will continue. I love the main characters, the story line is fascinating, and the action is fabuous. I hope to see season 3
I think this is one of the most delightfully spooky shows I have seen in a long time. Very atmospheric for the second season going out of the city and into the countryside. It really started to rock when they got to the children’s home. I do sincerely hope it gets a third season and beyond, because I can’t wait to see what happened to Father Marcus when he was standing at the end of the pier in the last episode and called out for Father Tomas!
Renew PLEASE!!!
