‘The Conjuring’ Television Series Moving Forward at HBO Max
While The Conjuring: Last Rites breaks records at the box office, both for The Conjuring Universe and the horror genre at large, Variety reports this afternoon that a previously announced The Conjuring television series is officially moving forward at HBO Max.
Nancy Won (“Supernatural,” “Jessica Jones”) will serve as the project’s showrunner, writer and executive producer, Variety reports. Peter Cameron (“Werewolf by Night”) and Cameron Squires (“WandaVision”) have also boarded the series as writers.
James Wan’s Atomic Monster Productions and Peter Safran’s The Safran Company will produce the franchise’s very first small screen project, in association with WBTV.
The series will “continue the story established in the feature films.” The Conjuring: Last Rites was billed as the final installment in the franchise universe’s “Phase One,” with the film’s massive box office success ensuring that the franchise isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
The Conjuring films are based on the real-life case files of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga respectively.
There are currently nine films in The Conjuring universe — The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun 2, and this year’s The Conjuring: Last Rites.

The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
