'Exorcist' EP Actually Got A Priest To Bless The Set | SDCC 2017 | Entertainment Weekly

The Exorcist creator and executive producer Jeremy Slater shared an interesting bit of trivia when he and the rest of the Fox horror series cast dropped by EW’s Comic-Con studio in San Diego on Thursday: he had a priest bless the set.

“We brought a priest to bless the soundstages,” Slater told EW’s Jessica Shaw. “So nothing happened there, but any time we go off the soundstages, accidents follow up.” What accidents, you ask? Well, according to Slater and star Kurt Egyiawan, a TV fell on the show’s director of photography during the first season.

Surprisingly, a priest has yet to bless the show’s season 2 sets because “we need to get them in the right headspace,” joked Slater.

As previously reported, The Exorcist season 2 will follow Father Tomas (Alfonso Herrera) and former priest Marcus (Ben Daniels) as they travel to a group home at risk-foster children run by new series regular John Cho a secluded island off the coast of Seattle. After a twist-filled first season, the show’s writers decided not to build the season around one big twist and instead focused on smaller-twists and attempting different kinds horror.

He said "now we have five children in this home"... but there are 6 kids. Shelby, "Truck", Caleb, Verity, Grace and Harper. 3 girls and 3 boys. How could he get that wrong? There were 5 before Harper came...

Fox has to move this show from Friday night. The writing and acting is killer but it's wasting away in that time slot.😭
