David Gordon Green's sequel is set to be released in October on Friday the 13th.
The trailer for David Gordon Green's The Exorcist: Believer has just dropped and looks to promise just as much, if not more, possession goodness than the original. The film, which is a direct sequel to the 1978 original, will follow the possession of two young girls. This sends their families on the same traumatic tailspin that Chris MacNeil went through with her daughter, Regan .
Subversion is one of the best ways to keep a story fresh, and this show doesn't stop at the twist in the victim of the possession. About mid-season, a familiar character shows up, and one of the main cast is revealed to be a past character who had changed her name. Geneva Davis plays Reagan MacNiel, and Sharon Gless joins as her mother's character, Chris MacNiel. These names, of course, are well known to The Exorcist fans. Chris and Reagan are the original family from The Exorcist.
The second season does the smartest thing it ever could, it moves on from Angela/Reagan. Legacy characters are best when they are used sparingly. It makes their appearance more impactful to the story, and it lets them rest when it is over. The show goes on to follow Father Tomas and Father Marcus as they take on another case of possession. This season tackles saving a foster family from being targeted by a demonic presence.
