Friday the 13th and Spooky Season converge this month, so what better time to see an “Exorcist” sequel? “The Exorcist: Believer” is a follow-up to the iconic 1973 film, dubbed my many as the scariest movie ever made. This new movie promises frights and terror in equal measure, and if you’re not seeing Taylor Swift’s concert movie or are looking for something scary to watch, you may be wondering where, exactly, you can see “The Exorcist: Believer.”

Here’s everything you need to know.

Is “The Exorcist: Believer” in Theaters or Streaming?

The film opened exclusively in theaters on Oct. 6, so right now the only way to see it is to buy a movie ticket. However, you won’t have to wait long to catch the film at home. The film is currently available on PVOD and will be streaming on Peacock on Dec. 1.

Is “The Exorcist: Believer” a Sequel?

What Is “The Exorcist: Believer” About?

The new “Exorcist” movie follows Angela (Lidya Jewett) and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum) who “disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them” (according to the official synopsis). Angela’s father (Leslie Odom, Jr.) is desperate to cure the girls and seeks help in a familiar face from the “Exorcist” franchise. Green said that he looked to “find a way to balance the beauty and artfulness that, I guess, the death of Max von Sydow inspired. That was the goal.”
