Mike Flanagan ‘Exorcist’ Movie Gets Release Date Via Universal

Universal has set its new Exorcist movie from Doctor Sleep helmer Mike Flanagan on an appropriate date. The pic from Blumhouse and Morgan Creek will attack theaters on Friday the 13th — March 13, 2026.

The film is described as a “radical new take” on the venerable horror franchise that has been disrupted sleep since 1973. Any potentially head-spinning plot details are being kept under wraps.

The filmmaker and producers say their new movie is not a sequel to any previous Exorcist film and that it charts a new course for the legendary franchise.

Along with The Shining-inspired Doctor Sleep, Flanagan has written and directed such films as The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass and Gerald’s Game along with last year’s Netflix miniseries The Fall of the House of Usher
