Last year’s Corin Hardy-directed The Nun was a box office smash hit – to date, it’s the highest grossing film in the entire Conjuring Universe – so it’s no big surprise that a sequel is in the works. Via Deadline tonight, we’ve learned that Akela Cooper (“Luke Cage,” “Grimm,” “American Horror Story,” Hell Fest) has been tapped to write the continuing adventures of Valak.
Producer Peter Safran just told Entertainment Weekly the other day, “We have a really fun storyline for that teed up, so I think that’s the next one that will be written.”
Safran and James Wan will produce the sequel.
Bonnie Aarons played the title character in The Conjuring 2 and The Nun.
