New updates have emerged regarding the future of The Conjuring and Evil Dead franchises.
In the year 2013, James Wan’s film The Conjuring was released in cinemas. This movie gave rise to not just two direct sequels – The Conjuring 2 (released in 2016) and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (in 2021) – but also an entire universe of interconnected films. Other movies within this universe include Annabelle, released in 2014; its prequel, Annabelle: Creation, from 2017; The Nun, which came out in 2018; and the upcoming film The Nun II, slated for release in 2023.
Work has begun on a new Conjuring film titled “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” which is scheduled to be released on September 5, 2025.
Simultaneously, the Evil Dead franchise was born in 1981 through Sam Raimi’s creation, with The Evil Dead being its starting point. This initial film led to three subsequent horror films: Evil Dead II (1987), Army of Darkness (1993), and a television series titled Ash vs Evil Dead. All these productions featured Bruce Campbell portraying the character Ash Williams.
In 2013, Fede Álvarez took on a remake of The Evil Dead (still linked, albeit loosely, to the original films), which was later followed by the release of Evil Dead Rise in 2023, marking the fifth film in the franchise.
What are the new Conjuring and Evil Dead updates?
In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Richard Brener, Chief Creative Officer at New Line Cinema, shared some insights regarding “The Conjuring: Last Rights” and future plans for the franchise.
[The Conjuring: Last Rites] is generating an exceptional response during testing and we’re still at the director’s cut stage, which is typically a nerve-wracking time regarding a film’s status. However, we’re already past expectations, even with preliminary visual effects in place. As this is only phase one, we’re optimistic that there might be more to come.
Regarding the future of The Conjuring series, Brener mentioned that while specific details about phase two are still undecided, they have numerous exciting projects underway. Among them is their second Evil Dead movie, titled Evil Dead Burn, and plans for a third one too. Additionally, there are other original ideas in the pipeline, which they hope will lead to multiple sequels if successful.
