HBO Max Developing Conjuring Series With Nancy Won

The Conjuring: Last Rites has grossed roughly $436 million worldwide and will arrive on premium VOD Oct. 7 (about $24.99 to buy, $19.99 to rent), earning mixed reviews (59% critics/78% audience on Rotten Tomatoes). Critics praised its box‑office success and emotional depth while debating its tonal choices and a reportedly missed darker finale for the Warrens’ saga. HBO Max is developing a Conjuring series “continuing the story,” with Nancy Won attached as showrunner and other high‑profile writers joining the writers’ room; casting and a premiere date have not been announced. FX’s Revival, created by Luke Boyes and Aaron Koontz and based on a long‑running comic, offers a stylish, character‑driven take on a zombie premise — season 1 is on Peacock and season 2 has been confirmed. Legacy titles like 2000’s Ginger Snaps continue to influence the genre by reframing werewolf lore as body‑horror metaphors for female adolescence and maintaining cult status despite modest box‑office returns.
