Just as the latest film is still showing in theaters, the planned “Conjuring” series is making significant progress. Key personnel decisions are now being announced.

“Conjuring” Series Comes From “Supernatural” Creator

This is now reported by the U.S. trade magazine “Variety.” According to the report, the project has been in planning since 2023, but only now has the most important position been filled: the showrunner. Nancy Won is set to take on this role, also serving as executive producer and screenwriter.

Won brings a wealth of experience in television as a writer and producer. She has worked in both roles on well-known hits such as “Supernatural,” Marvel’s “Jessica Jones,” and most recently “Sunny.” She will receive script support from Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires, both of whom have worked in the Marvel universe, such as on “WandaVision” or “Moon Knight.” Additionally, Squires wrote for the “Star Wars” series “The Acolyte” and the “The Boys” spinoff “Gen V” on Amazon Prime Video.

Streaming Service for “Conjuring” Series Not Yet in Germany

As the rights holder of the entire series, Warner will naturally produce the “Conjuring” series on its own streaming service, HBO Max. Although it has been available since 2020, it is not yet in Germany. The platform is expected to launch there in 2026.

The delay was primarily due to a now-expiring deal with Sky, which brought exclusive rights to films and series like “Game of Thrones” or “The Last of Us” for local distribution.

What the “Conjuring” Series Could Be About

There are no content details or casting information yet. It is only known that the series will continue the story established in the films. In this context, the currently running “The Conjuring 4: The Last Chapter” in theaters might be of interest. Warning, spoilers for “Conjuring 4” follow!

As the title suggests, it is intended to be the final part of the film series. In it, Ed and Lorraine Warren reluctantly take on their last case, which also involves their own daughter Judy. At the end of the film, there is a happy ending with a romantic montage showing the demonologist couple aging together and even becoming grandparents.

Also at the end, Ed hands over the keys to the collection of possessed objects to his new son-in-law Tony. This gesture can be interpreted as a passing of the torch in light of the upcoming “Conjuring” series. It is quite possible that Tony and Judy will step into the shoes of Ed and Lorraine as the new couple.

The Success of the “Conjuring” Films

At least if it is truly a continuation of the films. Theoretically, a prequel is also possible–after all, the real Warrens claimed to have investigated more than 10,000 eerie cases. These offer a vast array of potential stories.

The “Conjuring” franchise consists of four main films so far, with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in the lead roles. There are also several spinoffs, such as “The Nun” or “Annabelle.” In total, there are ten films in the narrative universe. With a current box office gross of $2.6 billion, it is the most successful horror film franchise ever–and the trend is rising, as “The Last Chapter” is still performing well in theaters.
