December may not be the peak month to watch a horror movie, but for a follow-up to a flick as iconic as The Exorcist, you may be all in on a scary-movie night.
The Exorcist: Believer, a legacy sequel to the 1973 film, will soon be a part of Peacock’s horror library. It’s the first in a planned trilogy of movies and features Ellen Burstyn reprising her role as Chris MacNeil, the mother of possessed 12-year-old Regan in the original Exorcist. In Believer, Leslie Odom Jr. stars as a parent going through similar horrors.
The Exorcist: Believer is directed by David Gordon Green, who also directed the recent trilogy of Halloween movies. The new Exorcist entry didn’t impress critics, sitting at a score of 39 on Metacritic, but you can judge for yourself. Here’s how to tune in to the scary sequel, plus how a VPN could potentially better your streaming experience.
When to watch The Exorcist: Believer on Peacock
Viewers in the US can start watching the horror flick on Peacock as early as 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT on Dec. 1.
The streaming service offers two plans: Premium and Premium Plus. Premium is ad supported and costs $6 a month, while Premium Plus is mostly ad free and costs $12 a month. Those using the free tier of Peacock will need to upgrade to a paid plan to watch The Exorcist: Believer.Â
If you’d rather rent or buy the movie than get a Peacock subscription, it’s available at services like Amazon and Vudu for $20-$30. Peacock offers some other films in the Exorcist franchise (there are six total, including Believer), but not the 1973 original. The streaming service is also home to the 2023 horror flick Five Nights at Freddy’s.
You can save some money on Peacock by paying for a year up front instead of 12 individual months. For example, an annual Peacock Premium Plan is $60, $12 less than the cost of paying month-by-month. People with Xfinity Internet, Instacart Plus or Spectrum may qualify for free Premium.
