We’re just a few weeks away from one of the biggest franchises in the history of horror returning – here’s everything we know about The Exorcist: Believer, including its release date, trailer, cast, plot, and more.
The Exorcist hit screens in 1973, and changed cinema forever. Directed by the late, great William Friedkin, and written by William Peter Blatty (based on his own novel), the movie quickly became a global sensation.
From a budget of just $12 million, The Exorcist grossed more than $400 million, making it – at the time – the most successful horror film ever. While it spawned a series of sequels and rip-offs.
This October we’re getting a brand-new Exorcist movie, courtesy of David Gordon Green, who recently revived the Halloween franchise. Here’s everything we know about The Exorcist: Believer.
The Exorcist: Believer release date – When’s it out?
The Exorcist: Believer is released worldwide on October 6, 2023. It was originally slated for the Friday 13th, which is a more fitting date. However, in the wake of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie, that date was naturally changed.
The film is set to be the first in a planned trilogy, with The Exorcist: Deceiver set to hit screens on April 18, 2025. There is currently no date set for Part 3.
Is there a The Exorcist: Believer trailer?
Yes, here’s the official trailer for The Exorcist: Believer:

A direct sequel to the original movie, the film sees Ellen Burstyn reprise her role as Chris MacNeil, alongside a new set of characters.
David Gordon Green directs from a script he wrote with Peter Sattler, while Jason Blum produces via his Blumhouse genre label.
