A New Exorcist Trilogy Is Heading To Streaming, Including One Original Star

If you’ve made it this far and aren’t familiar with the Exorcist franchise, The Exorcist (which was based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty, who wrote the film’s screenplay) followed 12-year-old Regan, played Linda Blair, who is possessed by a demon, forcing her mother, Ellen Burstyn’s Chris, to turn to two Catholic priests, Jason Miller’s Father Damien Karras and Max von Sydow’s Father Lankester Merrin, to help rescue her daughter through an exorcism. Two sequels followed in 1977 and 1990, followed by the prequels Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist in 2004 and 2005, respectively, with the former being a retooled version of the latter. There was also an Exorcist TV series that aired on Fox from 2016 to 2017.
