If the Warrens lead the story in The Conjuring TV show, it might center on another challenging case for the demonologist couple. Speculation suggests that The Conjuring 4 could bypass well-known cases like the one behind the 2009 film The Haunting in Connecticut, opting instead for less-publicized but equally terrifying cases such as the Smurl haunting of 1986. Should The Conjuring 4 focus on this era, the TV show might explore subsequent cases like the 1989 Southend Werewolf incident, where a man claimed to be possessed by a demon taking the form of a werewolf.

Set within James Wan’s horror universe, The Conjuring TV show will air on Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max (formerly HBO Max). Details about the production are scarce. The Conjuring franchise began in 2013 with the first movie, which depicted a 1971 farmhouse haunted by dark forces, featuring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. They reprised these roles in The Conjuring 2, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and the upcoming The Conjuring 4.
The Conjuring Universe includes spin-offs like Annabelle and The Nun, focusing on the haunted doll and the demon Valak, respectively. The franchise also features The Curse of La Llorona, inspired by Latin American folklore, and several short films, including The Nurse and Blund’s Lullaby. With such a rich tapestry of stories, The Conjuring Universe is perfect for further exploration in a TV series.
The cast for The Conjuring TV show is still unknown, though it’s possible Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga could return as Ed and Lorraine Warren. Their involvement will depend on whether the show focuses on the Warrens or a different narrative. If the Warrens do appear, their daughter Judy, played by Sterling Jerins in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, could also feature. It’s also possible the Warrens might appear as guest characters while new actors make up the regular cast.
