“The Conjuring” TV series currently in development at HBO Max has taken a big step forward.
Variety has learned exclusively from sources that Nancy Won has boarded the project to serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. In addition, both Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires are attached to write on the series.
HBO Max declined to comment.
The show was first reported to be in development at HBO Max back in 2023. Exact plot details remain under wraps aside from the fact the show will continue the story established in “The Conjuring” film franchise. Peter Safran remains onboard as an executive producer, with James Wan’s Atomic Monster producing. Warner Bros. Television is the studio.
The news comes just days after “The Conjuring: Last Rites” premiered in theaters. The fourth film in “The Conjuring” franchise has gone over like gangbusters at the box office, grossing over $194 million worldwide so far.
The first “The Conjuring” film debuted in 2013. The films star Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they take on different supernatural cases. In addition to the four main films, “The Conjuring” has also spawned the spinoff franchises “Annabelle” and “The Nun,” which have produced three and two films respectively to date. Collectively, the films have grossed nearly $2.5 billion worldwide.
Won’s recent TV writing credits include “Sunny” at Apple TV+, “Tiny Beautiful Things” and “Little Fires Everywhere” at Hulu, and the Marvel series “Jessica Jones” at Netflix. She is also known for her work on “Jericho” and “Supernatural” among several other series.
