HBO Max Brings The Conjuring to Small Screen: Will it Lose Its Spooky Creativity?

way. However, there’s a spooky twist – the show may not have its mastermind, James Wan, on board.

Let’s rewind a bit. The news of The Conjuring TV series broke after the success of Last Rites, which had the biggest opening weekend in horror history, taking down IT from its throne. According to Variety, Marvel TV writers Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires are set to write the show, with Nancy Won from Little Fires Everywhere as the showrunner. But here’s the catch – Wan’s name was notably absent from the announcement.

Recently, there have been talks of negotiations between Warner Bros. and Wan regarding his involvement in the franchise. Wan, who has been a key creative force behind The Conjuring series, is reportedly seeking a more significant role in the franchise he helped launch. While Last Rites is said to be the “final” movie, discussions about a prequel series are already in the works.

However, the big question remains – will Wan be part of the upcoming TV show? Unfortunately, it doesn’t look promising. Reports suggest that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema believe they can continue the success of The Conjuring without Wan’s direct involvement. Understandably, Wan’s fans are not happy about this potential change.

But, as any horror fan knows, The Conjuring is full of surprises. The show must go on, and whether Wan is involved or not, it’s safe to say that the spirit of The Conjuring will live on in this new TV series.

In the meantime, The Conjuring: Last Rites is currently in theaters, ready to send chills down your spine. And to quote Danny Elfman, “Life’s no fun without a good scare.” So, buckle up and prepare for more thrills and scares from The Conjuring universe.
