With more than four decades separating the Oscar-nominated
film and the upcoming television series, Fox has released three new promos for
the propulsive psychological thriller that follows two very different priests
tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession.
Premiering in the Fall, the pilot for The Exorcist
was directed by Rise of the Planet of the Apes helmer Rupert Wyatt.
In
the series, Father Thomas Ortega (Herrera) is the new face of the Catholic
Church: progressive, ambitious and compassionate. He runs a small but loyal
parish in the suburbs of Chicago. He has no idea that his quiet life is about
to change forever. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another priest
finds himself locked in a life-and-death struggle with evil. Father Marcus
Brennan (Daniels) is a modern-day Templar Knight, an orphan raised since
childhood by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. Father Marcus is
everything Father Tomas is not: relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by
his sacred mission. Caught in the middle is the Rance family, members of Tomas’
parish. On the surface, they’re a normal, suburban family, but all is not as it
seems in this household. The patriarch, Henry (guest star Alan Ruck, "Spin
City"), is slowly but surely losing his mind. Eldest daughter Katherine
(Brianne Howey, "Scream Queens") has become a recluse who refuses to
leave her room. Her younger sister, Casey (Hannah Kasulka, "The
Fosters"), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the
walls. And mother Angela (Geena Davis) has been plagued by recurring nightmares,
each more frightening than the last. Angela believes there is something in the
house, a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate, she begs
Father Tomas for help, unwittingly setting the naïve young priest on a
collision course with Father Marcus. Separately, each faces an insurmountable
task, but together they become the only hope against an evil force that has
been mobilizing for centuries.
