The film, directed by Rodrigue Huart from a script by Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg, is a September 10, 2027 release and serves as a prequel following Last Rites in the Conjuring Universe. The lineup includes nine films to date, with The Conjuring and its spin-offs expanding into a broader franchise, and a related project titled The Revenge of La Llorona scheduled for 2027. Schweighöfer, known for Army of Thieves and roles in Oppenheimer, is part of a wave of casting that continues to broaden the franchise’s prequel slate. Industry outlets have highlighted the Hasbro of potential TV developments tied to The Conjuring Universe, suggesting further expansion beyond films.
