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.

I'm really exited about this. First - Friday the 13th, Aliens, Welcome to Derry (IT), a possible Texas Chainsaw Massacre TV show, and now The Conjuring. It's a good time to be a Horror Movie fan.

I haven't seen it yet, I've heard so many mixed reviews that I don't know if it's absolute shite or god tier. I don't think I've heard a single review that sits in the middle. What was your overall opinion?

Fantastic. I had high expectations and still got blown away. You know that feeling after watching hundreds of movies when you can basically predict what happens next? Well, this wasn’t one of those movies, and that’s exactly what I loved about it, a truly fresh take on horror.

9/10.

I'm happy to hear that it wasn't predictable, I'll go ahead and watch it in the next few days.
