Could a seemingly innocent 15-year-old girl be the prime suspect of savage murders taking place in town? The answer could be 'yes' if she's possessed by a demon like Regan was in The Exorcist. In NBC's upcoming exorcism drama, The Possession of Maggie Gill, two detectives will explore the primal and perilous effects of paranormal activity surrounding a teenager.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has committed to a script for Amblin Television's The Possession of Maggie Gill. John Glenn (The Lazarus Project) will handle scripting duties and will also executive produce alongside Adam Kane and Amblin's Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, and Harris Fishman. We have the show's official synopsis (courtesy of THR!):
"Maggie centers on the Gills, a loving a middle-class family in Eugene, Ore., who find themselves in the midst of crisis when paranormal occurrences begin to affect the everyday fabric of their home. At the same time, a series of brutal murders is being investigated by two local detectives. The storylines converge as those involved slowly realize that the murders and hauntings may have a common link: Maggie Gill, 15-year-old daughter of the Gill family, who might be possessed by demonic attachments."
Stay tuned for more details on The Possession of Maggie Gill in the coming months.
