Universal Pushes Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist to March 12, 2027

Universal positions Mike Flanagan’s take as an all-new story separate from 2023’s Believer.

Overview

  • The new date marks a one-year delay from the previously scheduled March 13, 2026 release.
  • Flanagan is writing, directing and producing the film, with Scarlett Johansson starring alongside Jacobi Jupe.
  • The studio bills the project as a “radical redo” that is not connected to The Exorcist: Believer.
  • The production is from Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Morgan Creek in association with Red Room Pictures, with producers David Robinson, Jason Blum and Flanagan.
  • Universal holds a prime spring-break slot for the release, where the only other dated title is Sony’s animated Buds.
