Previously speaking about the reboot, producer Jason Blum said that fans will be pleasantly surprised with the new trilogy.
"[It's] going to be like David [Gordon Green]'s Halloween sequel," Blum explained. "I think it's going to pleasantly surprise all the skeptics out there. We had a lot of skeptics about Halloween and David turned them around, and I think he's going to turn it around with The Exorcist."
The suitably creepy trailer promises a terrifying experience which draws on themes from the original and fans of The Exorcist will be excited to hear snippets of Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells' which plays throughout the trailer.
The Exorcist: Believer film will be out in cinemas on October 13, 2023.
