"The Conjuringfranchise offered the perfect marriage between the hottest horror trend (the "based on a true story" claim) and the hottest Hollywood trend (the massive cinematic universe). While the main Conjuring movies starred Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as real-life paranormal investigators/frauds Ed and Lorraine Warren, spinoffs like Annabelle and The Nun flashed back to the origin stories of the creepy totems they encountered."
"In 2023, HBO Max announced that a Conjuring TV series was in development, but there were no details beyond the fact that it would "continue the story established in the films." It's been so long since then that HBO Max has changed its name twice, but we finally have an update, which means it won't descend into development hell. Instead, the series will join several movie spinoffs at the streamer, including It: Welcome to Derry, The Penguin, and Dune: Prophecy."
"Ben Rothstein/Warner Bros/THA/Shutterstock reports that the still-untitled series has signed a showrunner: Nancy Won, a writer and producer known for Sunny, Little Fires Everywhere, and Jessica Jones. Also onboard are writers Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires; both worked on fan-favorite MCU series WandaVision and Agatha All Along, while Cameron previously wrote the MCU Halloween Special Werewolf by Night, and Squires wrote for The Acolyte and Gen V."
The Conjuring franchise is moving from theatrical films into streaming television with a still-untitled series announced in development. The streaming series will follow the existing Conjurverse and join other movie spinoffs on the platform. Nancy Won has been signed as showrunner, and writers Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires are onboard, both with credits on high-profile MCU projects. The platform formerly known as HBO Max has undergone name changes since the series announcement. The Conjurverse will continue after The Conjuring: Last Rites, and reports indicate a prequel film is also in development.
