Fans of The Exorcist series can now mark their calendars for Friday, September 29th, because that is when the second season will premiere on FOX at 9:00pm ET, and viewers looking to tune in for the third season premiere of Lucifer also have a date to look forward to.
FOX announced that Lucifer Season 3 will premiere on Monday, October 2nd, just a few days after The Exorcist Season 2 premieres, and genre fans will also want to keep an eye out for the Sunday, October 1st (at 8:30pm ET) series premiere of Ghosted, starring Craig Robinson and Adam Scott.
An official plot synopsis for season 2 of The Exorcist has yet to be revealed, although it was recently reported that Alfonso Herrera, Kurt Egyiawan and Ben Daniels—who all play priests on the series—will return as series regulars in season 2, while the actors who played the members of the Rance family—Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Hannah Kasulka and Brianne Howey—will not be coming back in a series regular capacity, as a different exorcism is expected to take the spotlight this time around.
Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates, read the official press release below for more details, and if you need to catch up on The Exorcist before season 2 airs, Hulu is currently streaming the entire first season.
