The Conjuring 4 taps director Michael Chaves to helm the final installment of the main series (2024)
Michael Chaves is in negotiations to return as director of The Conjuring 4, which is expected to be the final installment of the main series.
THR reports that Michael Chaves is in negotiations to serve as the director of The Conjuring 4, which is expected to be the final installment of the main series.
Michael Chaves is no stranger to The Conjuring franchise as he was the director of the last installment, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and also helmed The Nun II. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who penned the screenplay for the third installment, will return to write this final sequel. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are naturally expected to return as Ed and Lorraine Warren, with production looking to start shooting this summer in Atlanta. Plot details are being kept under wraps at this point, but a few ghostly apparitions and demonic possessions are a good bet.

Prior to officially joining The Conjuring franchise with the third movie, Chaves directed The Curse of La Llorona, which is often mistakenly included in the franchise. While the film has several notable connections to The Conjuring Universe (including an Annabelle easter egg and Tony Amendola reprising his role as Father Perez), Chaves confirmed last year that it’s not part of the franchise.
“There’s so much debate about it and I think I’ve played coy in the past,” Chaves said. “The idea was that [the Annabelle cameo] was going to be this little hidden thing that you were going to discover as you watch the movie. One of the reasons that it couldn’t formally be a part of the Conjuring universe is it didn’t include one of the key producers, which is Peter Safran. The Conjuring is his baby, him and James, and they are still the two core producers on it.“
The last installment of the franchise, The Nun II, was released last September, and while it received mixed reviews, it was a success at the box office, grossing $269 million worldwide against a $38.5 million budget. The larger franchise has become the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time, grossing $2.1 billion across eight movies.
Michael Chaves, who helmed the previous installment, 2021's The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, is in negotiations to direct what is being eyed as the fourth and final outing. The move makes Chaves a true Conjuring Universe player as he also directed last year's spinoff, The Nun II.
Whatever case the flick is inspired by, one thing is for sure, The Conjuring 4 will be the last movie in the series, as creator Wan told Collider, "We get it right and to make sure the emotion of the Warren stories that we want to tell, and moving into, and potentially wrapping up, we just want to make sure that it's ...
Conjuring universe will move forward with "The Conjuring" as the director has been finalized for the film. "The Conjuring" 4 is happening and Michael Chaves will direct the movie, as per a report in The Hollywood Reporter.
The Conjuring 4 has been confirmed, but we still don't have a confirmed release date as of March 2024. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is set to start filming this summer in Atlanta. If filming starts as planned, it means we could expect to see it in cinemas in June or July 2025.
As for the new Conjuring movie storyline, nothing so far is known. With The Devil Made Me Do It ending in 1981, it's expected that The Conjuring: Last Rites story movie would take place sometime during the 1980s.
Annabelle is an allegedly-haunted Raggedy Ann doll, housed in the now closed occult museum of the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Annabelle was moved there after supposed hauntings in 1970. A character based on the doll is one of the antagonists that appear in The Conjuring Universe.
The next movie in The Conjuring franchise is confirmed as The Conjuring 4, titled The Conjuring: Last Rites, and is currently in development. A television series set within The Conjuring universe is also in development for Warner Bros. ' Max streaming service.
Bathsheba was the primary antagonist of the original Conjuring movie, and she remains one of the series' most frightening villains. She's a terrifying witch from the 19th century who hanged herself after murdering her infant child, leaving a curse on the home that Ed and Lorraine Warren are called in to investigate.
The Conjuring 2, The Nun, and The Nun II has Valak as the main antagonist, taking on the form of a demonic nun and The Crooked Man from the rhyme "There Was a Crooked Man".
Bonnie Aarons (born September 9, 1960) is an American actress. She is best known for her roles as the Nun, a personification of the demon Valak, in The Conjuring Universe (2016–present), starring in The Conjuring 2 (2016), The Nun (2018) and The Nun II (2023).
Will there be The Nun 3? The Nun 3 is not yet confirmed, but there is demand and narrative potential for the franchise to continue with another installment. If The Nun 3 does happen, it is likely to be released no earlier than 2026, based on the release timeline of previous films.
Is 'The Conjuring' based on a true story? That depends on whether you believe in ghosts. But the movie is based on the Perron family, who moved into the house in 1971, and said they began experiencing paranormal phenomena.
A sequel to the two films and the third entry in the main series, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, was released on June 4, 2021, and revolves around the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, a murder that took place in 1981 in Connecticut.
It's a common question, but the answer is no, The Conjuring and Insidious franchises are not linked to each other. The only 'link' is James Wan, who directed both the first two Conjuring movies and the Insidious movies. Fun fact: Patrick Wilson starred in both the first two Insidious movies and The Conjuring movies.
The Conjuring contains what's essentially a terrifying Annabelle short film, so it's no surprise to see how this evil doll quickly became a fan favorite. The Conjuring explains how the Warrens come in possession of the Annabelle doll, but Annabelle sets out to show some of the doll's carnage before she gets locked up.
THE CONJURING 4 Will Be the Final Film in the Franchise and It Will Be Directed by Michael Chaves. James Wan and New Line Cinema's The Conjuring movie series will come to an end with the upcoming fourth film.
How Many The Conjuring Movies Are There? There are 9 total movies set within The Conjuring universe — three Conjuring movies, three Annabelle movies, The Nun and The Nun 2, and The Curse of La Llorna. Two future movies have been confirmed: The Conjuring 4 (TBA) and The Crooked Man (TBA).
You can watch it here if you haven't: The above trailer is fake as it uses old footage from The Conjuring Universe movies, bringing back Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren, respectively. Furthermore, Annabelle 4 hasn't been put under development, so it cannot come out in 2025.
