Season Two Of The Exorcist Will Introduce A New Family

Last month we were extremely happy to report that The Exorcist would be getting a second season after all. Now, the question on everyone’s mind is where does the show go from here. Thanks to TVLine we have an answer. In the second season we will meet a new set of characters. Priests Ortega (Alfonzo Herrera), Marcus (Ben Daniels) and Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan) return to help a new family in crisis. Even though the Rance family won’t be part of the main storyline it is a possibility that they may make a cameo. A potential season two would find Marcus, Tomas and Bennett tasked with helping a new family or a new case of possession.” Creator Jeremy Slater said. “That doesn’t mean we’ll never see any of the Rances again, but I think the fans would feel disappointed and cheated if we simply brought Captain Howdy back for round three. The Rances have escaped this legacy of terror–for the time
