The Exorcist - Receives Pilot Order at FOX

Fox has given a pilot order to drama The Exorcist, a modern reinvention inspired by William Blatty’s original 1971 book.

Morgan Creek, which has the rights to the property, took out the Exorcist drama series project, penned by hot young feature writer Jeremy Slater, in the summer of 2013, around the 40th anniversary of William Friedkin’s classic horror movie adaptation. After a lengthy pursuit and deal-making, the genre drama has landed a pilot order at Fox, with sibling 20th Century Fox TV producing alongside Morgan Creek Prods.

The Exorcist is described as a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession, and confronting the face of true evil.

Slater executive produces alongside James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall.
