Mike Flanagan Confirmed To Direct "Radical New" Exorcist Movie - Not Believer Sequel

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Mike Flanagan will direct a new Exorcist movie, but not a Believer sequel due to its poor reviews and box office.

It is said to be a "radical new take" on the Exorcist franchise.

Most details are currently under wraps.

Horror fan favorite Mike Flanagan will direct a new Exorcist movie, which will not be a sequel to last year's Believer. The iconic franchise was revived in late 2023 with David Gordon Green's The Exorcist: Believer, a legacy sequel and reboot that was meant to kickstart a new franchise. However, poor reviews and an underwhelming box office total halted those plans.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter confirms Flanagan will direct what is being called a "radical new take" on the Exorcist franchise. Specifics of what that means are currently being kept under wraps, but it will not be the expected Believer sequel, which was to be called The Exorcist: Deceiver.
