The Ending Of The Exorcist: Believer Explained

Normally, we would sit here and debate what the ending of «The Exorcist: Believer» means for a potential sequel or the franchise’s future. But we already know that this is only the beginning of a new chapter in «The Exorcist» franchise. Although the film’s ending doesn’t hint at a clear direction for the next entry, director David Gordon Green has already started talking about the next couple of movies — albeit without getting too specific. 

Green basically has said that there’s definitely a trilogy in the making, and told Collider that there are many story avenues they are looking at right now. «The idea is we built a road map that I think has so many different avenues that we could take. The world of exorcism and possession is so vast,» said Green. «As the movie finds itself existing in the world over the next few weeks, I think a lot of those questions will be answered.»

Once more fans see the film and start to point out story clues, perhaps a path forward will become clearer. All we know for sure right now is that there’s a sequel to «Believer,» currently titled «Deceiver,» set to hit theaters in 2025. It’s unknown who will return for it and what the story will be, but the best thing fans can do now is enjoy «Believer» and look for information on the sequel starting next year.
