The Exorcist: Deceiver is confirmed as the second installment in a new trilogy, following The Exorcist: Believer. Director David Gordon Green and producer Jason Blum reunite for another iconic horror saga. Believer introduced a new cast led by Leslie Odom Jr and Ann Dowd, with Ellen Burstyn returning as Chris MacNeil. Despite anticipation, Believer received negative reviews and a low Rotten Tomatoes score.
Will Deceiver be able to raise the bar for the trilogy? Here’s everything we know about the sequel The Exorcist: Deceiver release date, plot and more.

The Exorcist: Deceiver is set to hit theaters on April 18, 2025. Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions announced this date in July 2023, signaling their plan to create a trilogy.

The Cast And Crew
The cast for The Exorcist: Deceiver remains unconfirmed. As The Exorcist: Believer concluded as a standalone story, it’s uncertain who may return for the sequel. The previous cast included Leslie Odom Jr, Lidya Jewett, Ann Dowd, Jennifer Nettles, Norbert Leo Butz, Olivia Marcum, Okwui Okpokwasili, Raphael Sbarge, Danny McCarthy, and EJ Bonilla, some of whom could potentially reprise their roles. Ellen Burstyn’s return as Chris MacNeil seems likely, possibly in a cameo or supportive role for the next exorcism. However, no confirmations have been made regarding returning cast members for future sequels.
The Plot
The Exorcist: Deceiver’s plot could feature a stand-alone story with new characters, as The Exorcist: Believer doesn’t set up a direct continuation. Director David Gordon Green stated in an interview that they had a roadmap for potential future directions, aiming for a manageable trilogy that can be enjoyed independently of the original film. Both Green and producer Jason Blum emphasized that prior knowledge of The Exorcist isn’t necessary to appreciate the new trilogy. Green hinted at the vastness of the concept of exorcism, suggesting potential for exploration into the unknown without revealing specifics about The Exorcist: Deceiver’s storyline.
