IF YOU’RE looking for another film that’ll be sure to scare your socks off, don’t worry, because the final installment of “The Conjuring” universe is coming to theatres in 2025.
The original “The Conjuring”, directed by James Wan, was released back in 2013 and was a global hit. The Hollywood Reporter notes that it earned almost USD 320 million worldwide, even though the film was given a budget of only USD 20 million.
The first film followed the investigation of Ed and Lorraine Warren into a family experiencing strange happenings in their home, and ever since then, the universe of “The Conjuring” has only expanded.
Some examples of films that have since been added to the universe of “The Conjuring” are “Annabelle”, “The Nun”, and of course, “The Conjuring 2” and “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”.
Each of these films have made millions thus far, and fans of the franchise cannot wait to once again see Ed and Lorraine once again battling evil for the good of humanity.
About the final film
The fourth installment of the film, “The Conjuring: Last Rites” is set to release in theatres on September 5, 2025. It is directed by Michael Chavez and written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, Ian Goldberg, and Richard Naing.
It will once again feature Patrick Wilson as Ed Warren and Vera Farmiga as Lorraine, and will reportedly tell a new story taken once again from the case files of the Warrens, who were a real life couple that reportedly handled thousands of cases in their time.
Aside from Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, Ben Hardy and Mia Tomlinson are also expected to join the cast alongside them.
Screen Rant reports that the story will take place during the 1980s, and may be the most hair-raising flick of the Warrens’ cases yet.
Conjuring family says goodbye
With the end of the franchise approaching, many members of the cast and crew saying goodbye to their beloved roles.
Director of the original “The Conjuring” film posted to his Instagram a photo of Ed and Lorraine’s chairs, with the caption reading: “Always good to see and hang out with old friends. Gonna miss everyone. End of an era.”
Vera Farmiga also posted a long, heartfelt message alongside a photo of her and Patrick to her Instagram, saying: “Roundabout 5000 days ago, this guy and I signed a WB contract and said “I do” to embodying Ed and Lorraine Warren. Today, he wraps.”
She ended the post by saying: It was a match made in heaven, PWilz. A hell of an era. Here’s to 12 years.”
Don’t worry, though; Screen Rant further notes that while this may be the fourth and final film in the franchise, this won’t be the last you see of “The Conjuring”.
Currently, a television series is in the works, and there is also a possibility for sequels to the films of “The Nun” and “Annabelle”, as well.
