We have an exciting update about Mike Flanagan’s (“The Life of Chuck”) upcoming entry into “The Exorcist” franchise. Oscar nominee Diane Lane (“Feud: Capote vs. The Swans”) has joined the cast!
Lane will star in a currently undisclosed role alongside Scarlett Johansson (“Jurassic World: Rebirth”) and Jacobi Jupe (“Hamnet”).

While plot details are being kept under wraps. We do know this film will not be a follow-up to 2023’s “The Exorcist: Believer” and just takes place in the same overall universe.
Flanagan will both write and direct the film, with shooting taking place in New York. He will also produce under his Red Room Pictures banner, with David Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment, and Jason Blum for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. Alexandra Magistro will executive produce for Red Room Pictures with Ryan Turek for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.
“The Exorcist” is currently slated to hit theaters on March 12th, 2027. We’ll keep you posted on updates as they become available.
