The Nun II[2] is an upcoming American gothic supernatural horror film directed by Michael Chaves and written by Akela Cooper, Ian Goldberg, and Richard Naing from a story by Cooper.[3] It serves as a sequel to The Nun (2018) and the ninth installment in The Conjuring Universe franchise. The film stars Storm Reid and Anna Popplewell, with Bonnie Aarons, Taissa Farmiga, and Jonas Bloquet reprising their roles. James Wan and Peter Safran return as co-producers, with Judson Scott also serving as a producer.

The film is scheduled to be theatrically released on September 8, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Premise

Set four years after the ending of the first film, the film follows Sister Irene as she once again comes face to face with the demonic force Valak, the Nun.[3]

Production

Development

In August 2017, Wan discussed the possibility of a Nun sequel and what its story may be: "I do know where potentially, if The Nun works out, where The Nun 2 could lead to and how that ties back to Lorraine's story that we've set up with the first two Conjurings and make it all come full circle."[9]

In April 2019, it was announced by Peter Safran that a sequel was in development. Safran stated that there was a "really fun" storyline planned for the film and commented that there was an "inevitability to another The Nun movie".[10] Later that month, Akela Cooper signed onto the project as screenwriter, while Safran and James Wan agreed to serve as producers.[11]

In February 2022, Taissa Farmiga stated that she had had discussions with Warner Bros. Pictures to reprise her role from the first film while stating that the restrictions on the film industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic had delayed the project.[12] In April 2022, Warner Bros. Pictures officially announced the movie as a part of its upcoming slate at the 2022 CinemaCon.[13] The following day, it was announced that Michael Chaves would direct the film.[14]

In September 2022, it was revealed that Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing had contributed as screenwriting co-authors of the most recent draft of the script.[15]

Casting

In April 2022, James Wan confirmed that Bonnie Aarons would be reprising her role as Valak.[7] In September 2022, Storm Reid was cast as the new lead.[15][16] In October 2022, Taissa Farmiga and Jonas Bloquet were confirmed to be reprising their roles from the first film, with Anna Popplewell and Katelyn Rose Downey added to the cast later that month.[17][18][6][8]

Filming

Preliminary production photography began on April 29, 2022.[19][20] Filming was originally scheduled to start on September 5, 2022.[21][3] Principal photography began in France on October 6, 2022,[22] and concluded later that year.[23]

Release

The Nun II is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema in the United States on September 8, 2023.[24]
