Fox has released three new promos for The Exorcist TV
series, a propulsive psychological thriller following two very different
priests played by Alfonso Herrera ("Sense8") and Ben
Daniels ("House of Cards") as they tackle 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.
