“The Exorcist” is back this Friday. And we cannot wait.
This Friday, September 29, marks the premiere of the second season of Fox’s “The Exorcist,” which is set to put our titular heroes Tomas and Marcus into a whole new location to deal with a whole new form of evil.
One thing we’re only now learning about Season 2?
Ti West, known for horror gems The House of the Devil, V/H/S, Innkeepers and The Sacrament, directed the season’s third episode, titled “Unclean”! In West’s episode, which star Ben Daniels tweeted out a behind the scenes picture of today, “Marcus and Tomas travel to Seattle where they find a young girl targeted by a force of pure evil.”
West has previously directed episodes of “Scream” and “Wayward Pines.”

In the Season 2 premiere, titled “Janus”…
“Six months after leaving Chicago, Father Tomas continues his training to become an exorcist under the watchful eye of his partner Marcus Keane. Their travels lead them to a troubled young woman in rural Montana, where their investigation puts them in the crosshairs of her extended family. But as Tomas’ skills continue to grow, Marcus begins to worry that his apprentice is taking unnecessary risks.”
“The action then switches to a secluded private island off the coast of Seattle, where Andy Kim (John Cho, “Star Trek,” “Harold & Kumar”) runs a group home for at-risk foster children, whose lives are disrupted when the state sends a social worker (Li Jun Li, “Quantico,” “Blindspot”) to determine whether the foster home should be closed. Little do they know the true danger is yet to come: a malevolent presence that has set its sights upon one of the children in Andy’s care.”
The main Season 2 cast includes Alfonso Herrera as Father Tomas Ortega; Ben Daniels as Father Marcus Keane; John Cho as Andy Kim; Kurt Egyiawan as Father Bennett; Brianna Hildebrand as Verity; Zuleikha Robinson as Mouse; and Li Jun Li as Rose.
As previously noted, Season One stars Geena Davis, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey and Alan Ruck will NOT be coming back… but they COULD have cameos at some point.
“The Exorcist” is from Morgan Creek Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Jeremy Slater. Slater, Sean Crouch, Rupert Wyatt, Roy Lee, James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall serve as executive producers.
