Mike Flanagan in Talks to Take Over The Exorcist Franchise for Blumhouse

One of the most iconic horror franchises of all time might be getting another relaunch. According to a new report from Jeff Sneider, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher creator Mike Flanagan is currently in talks to spearhead the next Exorcist movie, which is in the works at Blumhouse and Universal Pictures .

"My intention is just to start making things, and as those plans come together, if I find myself in that director's chair, I'd be thrilled," Green previously said of returning to the franchise."But right now, I'm navigating it from a story perspective and looking at my realities of life as I pivot."

As the report outlines, this pivot would allow Universal and Blumhouse to deliver the two additional Exorcist movies that they originally signed up for, without necessarily being impacted by Believer's bad reception. The studios initially partnered together in 2021 on a $400 million distribution deal on a new Exorcist trilogy, with the second and third installments potentially being exclusive to Universal's Peacock streaming service.

What Is The Exorcist: Believer About?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.

"Well, it's fun. We had a road map that thought, 'You know, if the world will embrace what we're making here, then we'll keep it going,'" Green previously told ComicBook.com of the prospect of a sequel."So we have a nice road map, and then once we got into production, the movie took on a life of its own, and we took some detours on that road.
