The Exorcist: Deceiver is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written by Peter Sattler from a story by Scott Teems and Danny McBride. It is a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer (2023), and the seventh installment overall in The Exorcist franchise.

Production

In July 2021, two sequels to The Exorcist: Believer (2023) were confirmed to be in development with the same creative team of David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, Peter Sattler, and Scott Teems on board.[1][2][3] Two years later, it was announced that the first sequel would be titled The Exorcist: Deceiver.[4] After the poor reception of Believer, sources from The Hollywood Reporter claimed there would almost certainly be some degree of creative re-think for the next two films, and that Green recently expressed some doubt about his participation.[5] In January 2024, Green exited the project.[6] In May 2024, it was announced that Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct.[7]

Release

The Exorcist: Deceiver is currently undated.[6] It was originally scheduled to be released on April 18, 2025, by Universal Pictures,[4] but was removed from the release schedule in January 2024 to avoid direct competition with the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael.[6]
