HBO Max Sets Nancy Won Showrunner For The Conjuring Series

The Conjuring film franchise, despite the recent release of its fourth installment The Conjuring: Last Rites, is continuing with a new television series in development at HBO Max. Nancy Won, known for her work on series such as Supernatural and Jessica Jones, has been hired as the show's writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires, writers with credits in Marvel and Star Wars projects, will also contribute as writers. The series, produced by James Wan's Atomic Monster Productions and Peter Safran's The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television, aims to continue the story established by the feature films, which center on paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. While plot and casting details remain under wraps, the success of Last Rites, which has grossed nearly $200 million worldwide, suggests strong studio support for expanding the franchise into television. Both Wan and Safran remain involved as executive producers, although they will not directly steer the new series.
