The Conjuring: First Communion Adds Charles Parnell, Marta Kessler and Caleb Dolden

Scheduled for September 10, 2027, the film is intended to extend the Conjuring franchise across theaters plus a planned streaming series.

Overview

Reports on Wednesday say Charles Parnell, Marta Kessler and Caleb Dolden have joined the cast of The Conjuring: First Communion, rounding out an ensemble that includes Garrett Wareing, Amanda Fix and Matthias Schweighöfer.
Rodrigue Huart will direct the prequel from a screenplay by Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg, with Peter Safran producing and the film set for wide theatrical release on September 10, 2027.
The movie focuses on younger versions of Ed and Lorraine Warren played by Wareing and Fix, and publications note it is unclear whether franchise leads Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will appear.
The casting and schedule follow the franchise’s recent commercial strength, including last summer’s The Conjuring: Last Rites which grossed nearly $500 million, and the series has earned more than $2.7 billion worldwide.
New Line is advancing the Conjuring universe across platforms with this prequel and a separate streaming series led by showrunner Nancy Won, so next updates to watch are production milestones and any confirmation of legacy cast returns.
