‘The Conjuring 4’ will be the last instalment with Michael Chaves returning to direct

Michael Chaves, the director behind “The Nun II,” is set to helm the concluding chapter of the main “Conjuring” movie series. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that “The Conjuring 4” will serve as the final installment, revealing the title to be “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” unless they opt for the simpler version.

Following last year’s CinemaCon announcement, anticipation for “The Conjuring: Last Rites” has been building, especially after Chaves hinted at the return of the franchise’s paranormal investigators in “The Nun II.”

Having directed the previous installment, “The Devil Made Me Do It,” Chaves is expected to bring his expertise to the final chapter. While specific plot details are scarce, fans speculate a showdown between Ed and Lorraine Warren and Valak, also known as The Nun, following the tease in “The Nun II.”

Filming for “The Conjuring 4” is slated to commence this summer in Atlanta, with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles as the franchise’s central duo. Although this marks the conclusion of the “Conjuring” series, fans can expect more spinoffs from the horror universe franchise, with a potential “Nun 3” on the horizon.

While the release date for “The Conjuring 4” remains undisclosed, fans eagerly await the thrilling conclusion to this iconic horror saga.
