A new The Exorcist: Believer trailer for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s upcoming horror sequel has been revealed, featuring lots of horrifying new footage of the film’s suspense-filled sequences. The film is currently slated to arrive in theaters on October 6.
The trailer continues to tease its ties to William Friedkin’s original 1973 movie, as the video opens with one of the possessed girls taunting Ellen Burstyn’s Chris MacNeil about her daughter Regan’s dark fate. It also highlights how both girls’ possessions are connected to each other, with the evil entity warning them that only one girl will come out alive.

What to expect in The Exorcist: Believer?
“Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding has raised their daughter, Angela on his own,” reads the synopsis. “But when Angela and her friend Katherine, disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.”
The Exorcist: Believer serves as a direct sequel to the original horror feature, which was adapted from William Peter Blatty’s novel. Green is directing from a screenplay he is co-writing with Scott Teems, Danny McBride, and Peter Sattler. Joining Burstyn are Leslie Odom Jr., Ann Dowd, Raphael Sbarge, and Jennifer Nettles with newcomers Lidya Jewett and Olivia Marcum.
The sequel is produced by Jason Blum, David Robinson, and James Robinson, with Green, McBride, Couper Samuelson, and Stephanie Allain executive producing. It is a co-production between Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Production, with Ryan Turek overseeing the project on behalf of Blumhouse.
