Overview
- Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix have been cast as young Ed and Lorraine Warren and production is reported to have started for The Conjuring: First Communion, which is set to open September 10, 2027.
- Rodrigue Huart is directing from a screenplay by Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg with Peter Safran producing and John Rickard, Natalia Safran and Romel Adam listed as executive producers.
- Multiple outlets reported the casting news on Tuesday, and coverage says shooting is underway though Warner Bros. and New Line are keeping plot details tightly confidential.
- Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, who defined the roles in earlier films, are reported to be unlikely to return as the Warrens for this prequel.
