An untitled The Exorcist film is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Mike Flanagan. The film is a reboot of The Exorcist franchise and its seventh installment overall. Jason Blum will serve as a producer on the film through his Blumhouse Productions banner, alongside David and James G. Robinson through their Morgan Creek Entertainment banner, Trevor Macy and John Scherer through their Intrepid Pictures banner, and Flanagan through his Red Room Pictures banner.
Prior to the project's announcement, a sequel was planned for The Exorcist: Believer (2023), with David Gordon Green originally set to return as director, but left the project following the box office disappointment of Believer. In May 2024, Deceiver and its sequel were officially canceled.
The film is scheduled to be released on March 13, 2026.
Production
editIn July 2021, two sequels to The Exorcist: Believer (2023) were confirmed to be in development with the same creative team of David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, Peter Sattler, and Scott Teems on board.[1][2][3] Two years later, Universal Pictures announced that the first sequel would be titled The Exorcist: Deceiver and would be released on April 18, 2025.[4] After the poor reception of Believer, sources from The Hollywood Reporter claimed there would almost certainly be some degree of creative re-think for the next two films, and that Green recently expressed some doubt about his participation.[5] In January 2024, Green stepped down from Deceiver, and the film was removed from the release schedule shortly after.[6] In May 2024, it was announced that Mike Flanagan was in talks to direct.[7] However, it was announced later that month that Deceiver as well as its sequel had officially been canceled altogether, with Flanagan directing a "radical new take" on the franchise instead.[8][9]
Release
editThe untitled film is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 13, 2026.[10]
