An untitled The Exorcist film is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Mike Flanagan. The film is the seventh installment overall in The Exorcist franchise. 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, with Flanagan's film set to be a reboot.

Production

edit

In 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 exited the project, 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]
