Conjuring Prequel Casts New Young Warrens

Warner Bros. is pushing a period prequel to extend the franchise after the recent box‑office resurgence.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix have been cast as the young Ed and Lorraine Warren for The Conjuring: First Communion.
  • Rodrigue Huart is directing a script by franchise writers Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg with producers led by Peter Safran, and production is reported to be underway.
  • The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 10, 2027.
  • Studio coverage says the prequel will focus on the Warrens’ early years, and it is not clear whether Patrick Wilson or Vera Farmiga will appear in any capacity.
  • The move follows the strong box‑office performance of 2025’s Last Rites and continues a franchise that has earned roughly $2.7 billion worldwide while also spawning reports of related streaming projects.
