Season Two Of The Exorcist Will Introduce A New Family

Last month we were extremely happy to report that The Exorcist would be getting a second season after all. Now, the question on everyone’s mind is where does the show go from here. Thanks to TVLine we have an answer. In the second season we will meet a new set of characters. Priests Ortega (Alfonzo Herrera), Marcus (Ben Daniels) and Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan) return to help a new family in crisis. Even though the Rance family won’t be part of the main storyline it is a possibility that they may make a cameo. A potential season two would find Marcus, Tomas and Bennett tasked with helping a new family or a new case of possession.” Creator Jeremy Slater said. “That doesn’t mean we’ll never see any of the Rances again, but I think the fans would feel disappointed and cheated if we simply brought Captain Howdy back for round three. The Rances have escaped this legacy of terror–for the time

Fox’s Series ‘The Exorcist’ Possesses A New Trailer

At first I had serious doubts about Fox’s upcoming series ‘The Exorcist’. But after a series of images, promos and trailers were released I have I think I might have been wrong to jump to a conclusion. I have to say that I am intrigued. I’ll be watching. Speaking of trailers, Fox has just released a brand new trailer and we happen to have it for you. The first thing you need to know is that the series is not a reboot of the brilliant 1973 film directed by William Friedkin. The series is set 40 years after the events in the original film. The show will however give the occasional nod to the film, including the use of Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells”. The Rance family, members of Father Ortega’s parish, appear to be a normal suburban family, but are not what they seem. Henry Rancy (Alan Ruck) is losing his mind, and his wife Angela (Geena Davis) is suffering
