The Nun 2

The Nun 2 is an upcoming supernatural horror film directed by Michael Chaves and written by Akela Cooper. It serves as the sequel to The Nun (2018) and as the ninth installment in The Conjuring Universe. James Wan and Peter Safran will be returning to co-produce the project. The film is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema.

Development
In August 2017, Wan discussed the possibility of a Nun sequel and what its story may be: "I do know where potentially, if The Nun works out, where The Nun 2 could lead to and how that ties back to Lorraine's story that we've set up with the first two Conjurings and make it all come full circle."

In April 2019, it was announced by Peter Safran that a sequel was in development. Safran stated that there was a "really fun" storyline planned for the film and commented that there was an "inevitability to another The Nun movie". Later that month, Akela Cooper signed onto the project as screenwriter, while Safran and James Wan will serve as producers.

In February 2022, Taissa Farmiga stated that she has had discussions with Warner Bros. Pictures regarding reprising her role from the first film while stating that the restrictions on the film industry as a result of the coronavirus pandemic had delayed the project. In April 2022, Warner Bros. Pictures officially announced the movie as a part of its upcoming slate at the 2022 CinemaCon. The following day, it was announced that Michael Chaves will direct the film.

Principal photography began on April 29, 2022. Bonnie Aarons was confirmed to be reprising her role as Valak.
