Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix have been cast to play young Ed and Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring: First Communion.
- Rodrigue Huart will direct a screenplay by series writers Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg with Peter Safran producing and John Rickard, Natalia Safran and Romel Adam executive producing.
- The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 10, 2027, though reports that principal photography has begun are limited and not uniformly confirmed by the studio.
- Coverage says Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are not expected to return as the primary leads, signaling the franchise will portray the couple with a younger cast for this chapter.
- The prequel follows the franchise’s strongest recent entry, The Conjuring: Last Rites, and continues a universe that has grossed roughly $2.7 billion worldwide, which helps explain the studio’s decision to expand the series.
