The Exorcist Series Trailer
Get out your crosses, The Exorcistwill possess your TV sets in September. In advance of the The Exorcist Panel at Comic-Con, Fox dropped a new trailer for the upcoming horror series. Check it out below:
And now the first hellish trailer has been summoned to the internet!
In the below video, you can get your first look at a 21st reimaginning of William Peter Blatty's infamous novel that was turned into the Oscar nominated film from director William Friedkin (which is still the highest grossing R-rated film of all time when adjusted for inflation). The film infamously made stomachs turn almost as much as the onscreen spinning heads, but in the new trailer things look to take on a modern sensibility in regards to evil.
The Exorcist Cast
The series stars Alfonso Herrera (Sense8, The Chosen), Ben Daniels (Flesh and Bone, House of Cards) and Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Geena Davis (Commander in Chief, Thelma & Louise).
The Exorcist Synopsis
Here's the synopsis for the first season:
“Now, more than four decades later, The Exorcist returns as a contemporary psychological TV thriller following two very different priests tackling one family’s case of terrifying demonic possession.
“The Exorcist is a propulsive psychological thriller following two very different priests tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession. Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera, Sense8, The Chosen) is the new face of the Catholic Church: progressive, ambitious and compassionate. He runs a small but loyal parish in the suburbs of Chicago. He has no idea that his quiet life is about to change forever.
“Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another priest finds himself locked in a life-and-death struggle with evil. Father Marcus Brennan (Ben Daniel) is a modern-day Templar Knight, an orphan raised since childhood by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. Father Marcus is everything Father Tomas is not: relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his sacred mission. Caught in the middle is the Rance family, members of Tomas’ parish.
“On the surface, they’re a normal, suburban family, but all is not as it seems in this household. The patriarch, Henry Rance (guest star Alan Ruck, Spin City, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), is slowly but surely losing his mind. Eldest daughter Katherine (Brianne Howey, Scream Queens) has become a recluse who refuses to leave her room. Her younger sister, Casey (Hannah Kasulka, The Fosters), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the walls. And mother Angela (Geena Davis”) has been plagued by recurring nightmares, each more frightening than the last.
“Angela believes there is something in the house, a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate, she begs Father Tomas for help, unwittingly setting the naïve young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus. Separately, each faces an insurmountable task, but together they become the only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries.”
