Is The Conjuring 4 Happening?

Yes! The Conjuring 4, officially titled “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” is in development and is expected to be the final chapter of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s terrifying journey. The film is confirmed by Warner Bros., with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles as the legendary paranormal investigators.

Possible Plot of The Conjuring: Last Rites

The fourth installment will likely focus on one of the Warrens’ most infamous real-life cases, bringing their story to a dark and chilling conclusion.

Possible Cases for The Final Film:

1. The Demonic Trial (The Smurl Haunting, 1986)

   • Based on the real-life Smurl family case, where a home was haunted by a demonic entity that terrorized the family for years.
   • The Warrens’ exorcism attempts failed multiple times, leading to one of their most terrifying encounters.

2. The Haunting in England (The Southend Werewolf, 1970s)

   • The Warrens traveled to England to investigate a man claiming to be possessed by a werewolf demon.
   • Could this be a werewolf-style horror twist in the Conjuring universe?

3. The Final Battle Against Valak

   • The demon Valak (from The Nun movies) has tormented the Warrens for years.
   • Could this film be the final showdown between the Warrens and their deadliest enemy?

4. A Shocking Tragedy?

   • Since The Conjuring: Last Rites is rumored to be the final film, could it end with a major sacrifice or a vision of Ed Warren’s real-life passing (2006)?

Returning & New Cast (Expected):

• Ed Warren – Patrick Wilson
• Lorraine Warren – Vera Farmiga
• Judy Warren – Sterling Jerins (now grown-up and possibly involved in the paranormal).
• New Villains & Possessed Victims – TBA

Tone & Scares:

• Darker and more psychological horror than previous films.
• Final confrontation with a demonic force—perhaps Valak or something even worse.
• More real-life case files from the Warren archives.
• Religious themes (exorcisms, last rites, demonic possession).

Expected Release Date:

• Warner Bros. confirmed The Conjuring 4 in 2022, but no official release date has been set.
• With filming expected in 2024-2025, The Conjuring: Last Rites could release in late 2025 or early 2026.

Final Thoughts:

The Conjuring: Last Rites is expected to be the scariest and darkest film in the franchise, bringing the Warrens’ journey to a terrifying end. Whether it’s one last exorcism, a final confrontation with Valak, or a haunting like no other, fans should prepare for a shocking and emotional conclusion.
