It’s an entirely new story featuring demon possession and the Jesuit priests fighting against it—not a sequel to the 2023 installment.

Blumhouse has officially confirmed that Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep) will write, direct, and produce “a bold new take” on The Exorcist, partnering with Blumhouse and Morgan Creek. Following the mixed reception of The Exorcist: Believer, which brought in $65.5M domestically and $136.2M worldwide, this project offers a fresh direction in The Exorcist universe. The film will be produced by Trevor Macy of Intrepid Pictures and Flanagan’s Red Room Pictures, with John Scherer also joining the production on behalf of Intrepid.

Mike Flanagan’s Exorcist movie is set to release on MARCH 13, 2026 by Universal and Blumhouse in THEATERS!
