Fox has officially ordered a pilot for “The Exorcist,” based on William Blatty’s 1971 novel, which inspired the iconic 1973 horror film of the same name, reports Variety.

The one-hour drama pilot is described as a modern reinvention inspired by Blatty’s book — a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession, and confronting the face of true evil.

The project hails from 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Morgan Creek Productions, and was written by Jeremy Slater, who also executive produces alongside James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall.

Slater is the most exciting and promising addition to the news, and someone I have a lot of faith in (pun intended). He’s behind the upcoming Pet and Death Note, as well as Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot and The Lazarus Effect.

Oh man
