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.

Both Cameron and Squires have worked on multiple Marvel projects in recent years. Cameron has written for the special “Werewolf by Night” as well as for shows like “Agatha All Along,” “Moon Knight,” and “WandaVision.” Squires also wrote for “Agatha All Along” and “WandaVision” as well as shows such as “Agent Elvis,” the “Star Wars” series “The Acolyte,” and Season 2 of “The Boys” companion series “Gen V.”

Won is repped by UTA. Cameron is repped by Verve, Untitled, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole. Squires is repped by CAA, Artists First, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
