Amid the popularity of ‘The Exorcist’ in theaters, the novel ‘The Exorcist’ will also be made into a variety show.

According to Tving on the 26th, a new variety show based on the concept of author Lee Woo-hyuk‘s novel ‘The Exorcist’ will be produced this year and released next year.

‘The Exorcist’ is receiving favorable reviews for successfully pioneering Korean-style fantasy by depicting the activities of exorcists who fight against supernatural beings and evil spirits.

At the time, it sold 10 million copies and was also made into a movie and animation.

‘Shin: Exorcism Record’ (tentative title), which is scheduled to be released next year, is an occult action adventure that borrows the worldview of the novel.

CJ ENM, which is in charge of production, has not only completed a contract to use the original IP, but will also receive advice from writer Lee Woo-hyuk.
