Diane Lane has joined Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe in the next installment of the iconic horror franchise "The Exorcist", from filmmaker Mike Flanagan.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, what’s known is that the film will tell an all-new story set in "The Exorcist" universe and is not a sequel to 2023’s "The Exorcist: Believer'.

Flanagan will direct from his own script, with production taking place in New York City.

He’s also producing via his Red Room Pictures banner, alongside David Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment and Jason Blum for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.

Exec producers include Alexandra Magistro for Red Room Pictures and Ryan Turek for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.

Universal will release the next Exorcist movie in theaters on Friday, March 12, 2027.

An Oscar nominee who has also been nominated for several Emmys and Golden Globes, Lane most recently led Jan Komasa’s acclaimed thriller "Anniversary," alongside Phoebe Dynevor and Kyle Chandler.

Prior to that, she starred in Ryan Murphy’s "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," opposite Naomi Watts, Demi Moore and Tom Hollander, for which she received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.

She also recently starred alongside Jeff Daniels in the David E. Kelley-produced Netflix limited series "A Man in Full," as well as in Disney’s "Inside Out 2,".
