Flesh and Bonestar Ben Daniels and Sense 8's Alfonso Herrera are grabbing their rosaries and holy water and heading to Fox. TVLine reports the two men will lead the network's The Exorcist reboot.

Daniels will play Father Marcus, described as "the intense holy warrior carrying out an occupation that the church no longer acknowledges in public." In contrast, Herrera will play Father Thomas, "the warm, selfless and compassionate leader of a small but hearty little church."
