“The Exorcist” Returns to FOX This September
FOX will continue their anthology series “The Exorcist” on Friday, Sept. 29, 2017 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), Bloody Disgusting learned.
As previously noted, Season 1 stars Geena Davis, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey and Alan Ruck will NOT be coming back. This comes as no real surprise, our own John Squires notes, as Season 1 seemed to completely wrap up the story of the Rance family.
Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels and Kurt Egyiawan will be back as series regulars.
This all lines up with what creator Jeremy Slater told us last year. “A potential season two would find Marcus, Tomas and Bennett tasked with helping a new family or a new case of possession,” he shared with us ahead of the renewal. “Our challenge now is to create a new family that you care about just as much as the Rances, and to find ways to make their story feel just as compelling and unique as what came before.”
“That doesn’t mean we’ll never see any of the Rances again,” he teased.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
