Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have released the first trailer for The Exorcist: Believer, the first film in a brand-new trilogy following up on the controversial 1973 cult classic, The Exorcist.

Directed by Halloween franchise helmer David Gordon Green, The Exorcist: Believer stars Leslie Odom Jr. as Victor Fielding who, since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake twelve years ago, has raised their daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) on his own. But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum) disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.

Ellen Burstyn reprises the role as Regan’s mother from the original film, with The Handmaid’s Tale actress Ann Dowd, Jennifer Nettles, and Norbert Leo Butz also starring. Green and Peter Sattler collaborated on the script, which is based on a story by Halloween Kills writer Scott Teems.

The Exorcist: Believer releases in cinemas on October 13th, marking the 50th anniversary of the original film. Check out the trailer below:
