Directed by David Gordon Green, The Exorcist: Believer comes exactly 50 years after the original Exorcist movie. Thanks to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film, you can officially watch this highly anticipated sequel in theaters this weekend — one week before it was originally set to release.

As the follow-up to one of the most terrifying horror films in history, The Exorcist: Believer follows two parents as they desperately search for someone to help their demonically possessed daughters. And who better to call than Chris MacNeil? 

So, where can you watch The Exorcist: Believer? Is it on Netflix? What about Max?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER:

As of now, the only way to watch The Exorcist: Believer is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Oct. 6. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon, or available to stream on Peacock. Read on for more information.

UPDATE 10/25/23: The Exorcist: Believer officially became available to rent or purchase on digital platforms on Tuesday, Oct. 24 — just in time for Halloween!

WHEN WILL THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER BE ON STREAMING? WILL THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER BE ON PEACOCK?

While a Peacock release date for The Exorcist: Believer has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another recent film distributed by Universal Pictures. Cocaine Bear was released in theaters on Feb. 24 before joining the streaming platform on April 14 — a little over 45 days after its debut. If The Exorcist: Believer follows the same trajectory, it should come to Peacock by mid-November 2023.

However, other movies like Nope have taken a little longer to reach the streamer (more than 100 days, to be exact) so it’s best to take this estimate with a grain of salt.

UPDATE 11/21/23: The Exorcist: Believer will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock on Friday, Dec. 1.

WILL THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER BE ON MAX?

No, The Exorcist: Believer will not be on Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. The platform — previously known as HBO Max — also no longer does direct-to-streaming releases. Instead, they’ve implemented a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the Max release.

WILL THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER BE ON NETFLIX?

No, The Exorcist: Believer will not be on Netflix — at least not any time soon. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a movie theater or wait for it to become available to stream on Peacock.
