After the surprise renewal of The Exorcist a month ago, now Fox has put the finishing touches on the official Season 2 cast list — and there are a few notable and quite unexpected omissions.
The priestly trio of Alfonso Herrera, Kurt Egyiawan and Ben Daniels will all be back as series regulars, but they will take care of a new possession case. This means that Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Hannah Kasulka and Brianne Howey — aka the demonized Rance family— are leaving the series (although they could return on a guest-star basis).
Executive producer Jeremy Slater previously told Deadline’s website that his goal for Season 1 was “to tell a story with a beginning, a middle and an end and that story was the possession of the Rance family,” adding that his Season 2 challenge “would be to come up with a new storyline that was just as exciting and emotionally gripping.” He noted that a potential comeback of the main actors from Season 1 is possible by saying, “That doesn’t mean we won’t see the Rance family again.”
