“The Exorcist” Season 2 Casting News; Geena Davis Will Not Be Back

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.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
