Scream Queen actress Brianne Howey will star in Fox's pilot for the Exorcist TV remake. The actress has signed up to play former ballet dancer Charlotte, who has become anti-social following an unfortunate accident. Charlotte's mother believes that her mental state could be down to the influence of a demon. The Exorcist remake is a "psychological thriller" that focuses on two men who separately try to deal with the impact of demonic possession on a family. The casting means Howey will be working with Fox again after recurring on Scream Queens last year. She played Melanie Dorkus, who became disfigured at the hands of the Red Devil.
