Writer/producer Jeremy Slater revealed on Twitter that Tyler Bates will be scoring the second season of the Fox drama The Exorcist. He is taking over for composer Daniel Hart (Pete’s Dragon, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints) who scored the show’s first season. The series is developed by Slater based on William Peter Blatty’s novel of the same title, which inspired William Friedkin’s 1973 classic stars Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels and Kurt Egyiawa. John Cho is also joining the second season. The series is based on William Peter Blatty’s novel of the same title, which inspired William Friedkin’s Academy Award-winning 1973 feature, and follows two very different priests tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession. Slater is executive producing the Morgan Creek & 20th Century Fox Television production with Sean Crouch, Rupert Wyatt, Roy Lee, James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall. Season 2 of The Exorcist will premiere on September 29, 2017 on Fox. Visit the official show website for updates.
