The Exorcist Guía y cronología
A mother searches for help as her daughter's disturbing illness becomes a confrontation with demonic possession. The Exorcist places fear inside questions about faith, doubt and the limits of care. Later films and television stories revisit that struggle through different continuations, while competing prequels give the original story more than one possible past.

The Exorcist: Start with Regan, Then Choose the Return
Use Release order to begin with the original The Exorcist. Afterward choose a continuation; Dominion and The Beginning offer different prequel approaches, not two consecutive stages of one origin.

A prequel-led track can start earlier in the fiction. That does not make it the recommended first encounter with the original film's fear and uncertainty.
Overview & recommendation
The original film gives the audience a mother searching for help and people struggling to understand what that help can be. Beginning there leaves room for doubt before the larger supernatural history is supplied. A first watch does not need an answer about the priests' past in advance.
Later works return to the premise in several ways: older film sequels, a television continuation, a legacy sequel and alternative prequels. They are choices about how to continue or look back, rather than a promise that every new interpretation shares every detail of the others.
Watch the 1973 film first through Release order. Continue with the original film group, television or Believer according to the branch you want. Explore Dominion or The Beginning as alternative background afterward, and treat the separately listed new film project on its own announced terms.
Different Ways Back to the Original Possession Sequels, television and alternative prequels
Several routes reuse the original film as context. The two prequel approaches remain alternatives; a new project should not be assumed to reconcile every earlier continuity.
Original Trilogy (3 entries)
The original film and its earlier sequel line, beginning with Regan's possession rather than a later prequel explanation.
The Beginning Prequel (4 entries)
The Beginning's alternative prequel approach alongside the original-film context. Choose Release order for an original-film-first introduction.
Dominion Prequel (4 entries)
Dominion's alternative look at earlier events, distinct from treating it and The Beginning as consecutive parts of one prequel.
TV Series (2 entries)
The original film followed by the television interpretation, with its own continuation choices rather than every earlier sequel imported automatically.
Believer (2 entries)
The original film and Believer's legacy-sequel route, kept distinct from other continuation histories.
Flanagan Reboot (1 entry)
Mike Flanagan's separately listed Exorcist project, with its own announced identity rather than a presumed reconciliation of all prior versions.
