We couldn’t have been happier to learn last month that FOX had renewed “The Exorcist” for a second season, which is headed to the network on Friday nights this coming Fall. The fear was that the incredible series, a sequel to the original film, would go the way of “Hannibal,” and we’re positively thrilled that FOX surprised us with the renewal we had been craving.
So then, what can we expect from Season 2? TV Line reports today that Season 1 stars Geena Davis, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey and Alan Ruck will NOT be coming back. This comes as no real surprise, 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.
