Production banner Blumhouse has come with an announcement of a new Exorcist film that would be written, directed and produced by Mike Flanagan in collaboration with Morgan Creek.

Flanagan, who has his share of making horror films and series, is best known for Doctor Sleep and Netflix's anthology series Haunting.

The official press release, following an underwhelming reception for The Exorcist: Believer at the box-office, stated that Flanagan's upcoming film will introduce a new story within the Exorcist universe. The 2023 Exorcist film's failure forced director David Gordon Green to step down from the franchise.

The film will be produced by Flanagan's Red Room Pictures alongside Trevor Macy's Intrepid Pictures of which John Scherer is also a part.

The new Exorcist film marks the fourth collaboration between Flanagan and Blumhouse, with their previous films being - Oculus (2013), Hush (2016), and Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016).
