The Warrens, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, will once again be at the centre of the hair-raising events in the latest instalment of 'The Conjuring' series, titled 'The Conjuring: Last Rites.' Newcomers Ben Hardy of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and Mia Tomlinson from ‘The Beast Must Die’ join the cast in this latest adventure.

While James Wan directed the first two movies in the series, Michael Chaves takes over the directorial reins for "Last Rites" as he did in 'The Devil Made Me Do It.' Chaves has also directed other movies within the 'Conjuring' cinematic universe, notably 'The Curse of La Llorona' and 'The Nun II.' The script for this newest episode was penned by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who co-authored the story with Wan.

Based loosely on true incidents that Ed and Lorraine Warren tackled throughout their career, 'The Conjuring' movies present terrifying representations of their paranormal investigations. The franchise, including its spin-offs 'The Nun,' 'Annabelle,' and 'The Curse of La Llorona,' has accumulated over $2 billion, making it the highest-earning horror series. The highest-grossing film of the franchise to date is 2018’s 'The Nun,' amassing $366 million globally, followed by 'The Nun II,' which grossed $269 million worldwide in 2023.

Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line are set to release 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' in cinemas and on IMAX from September 5. The official trailer for the movie is now available for viewing.
