Last May Blumhouse made official the association with Mike Flanagan to write, direct and produce a new installment of The Exorcistwhich will bring “a radical new vision” to the horror franchise.
This next The Exorcist has already set its release date in theaters, and we must say that it is a very appropriate date for a project of this nature.
Universal Pictures set the theatrical release of the new The Exorcist for him Friday March 13, 2026 (via Deadline).
The details of the story are currently under lock and key in some church. What is confirmed is that it will not be a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer (2023) by David Gordon Green, which had a disappointing performance at the box office, which is why Blumhouse, which had already given the green light to a trilogy that started with Believertook some time to rethink the next step.
With Flanagan the idea of a new film of The Exorcistannounced as “a completely new story set in the Exorcist universe and is not a sequel to The Exorcist: Believers of 2023”.
The plans for the aforementioned trilogy were discarded.
In July 2021, Blumhouse, NBCUniversal and Peacock paid Morgan Creek $400 million for the rights to The Exorcist.
The new installment will be produced by Flanagan with his company Red Room Pictures and Trevor Macy for Intrepid Pictures.
It will mark the fourth film collaboration between Blumhouse and Flanagan, having written and directed Oculus (2013), Hush (2016), y Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) for Jason Blum's company.
Flanagan previously said of the project:
“The Exorcist is one of the reasons I became a filmmaker and It is an honor to have the opportunity to try something new, bold and terrifying within its universe. “Reuniting with my friends at Blumhouse, with whom I have done some of my favorite work, only makes this more exciting.”
