It’s safe to say that Warner Bros succeeded in turning The Conjuring into a cinematic universe. Now, however, the world of The Conjuring is being expanded with a new streaming series!
Warner Bros Discovery has announced as much in a series of other exciting announcements for their new MAX streaming service. The new Conjuring series, as shared via Deadline, is being developed for the Max streaming service. Furthermore, a familiar face is involved with the development of the show.
As they’ve shared:
“Peter Safran is developing a drama series based on New Line Cinema’s film franchise with Warner Bros. Television.”
For those worried that this series might neglect the current storylines, however, don’t be. It’s been further stated that it will “continue the story established in the feature films.”
It’s worth noting that Peter Safran is a producer on The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and the upcoming film The Nun 2. With his involvement in the franchise, he’s a perfect choice to help steer this series in the right direction. The only two installments he hasn’t produced include Annabelle and The Nun.
James Wan’s Atomic Monster Productions and Peter Safran’s The Safran Company are set to produce the series in association with Warner Bros. Television. Hopefully we’ll have more details soon. The film franchise has certainly sprinkled many exciting plot points over the years. But, given the infrequent release schedule, it’s possible that television will be a better format overall.
In the meantime, fans can begin looking forward to The Nun 2. The upcoming sequel to The Nun is set to be released later this year. Bonnie Aarons will once again portray the titular villain who first appeared in The Conjuring 2.
