Warner Bros. Discovery has announced plans for a TV spin-off of the Conjuring series that will air on the newly-branded Max streaming service, causing excitement among fans of the horror franchise.
The series will continue the story established in the feature films and is being developed by Peter Safran, the franchise’s film producer.
However, not everyone is thrilled with the news, with one fan expressing concern about the possibility of the franchise’s reputation being tarnished.
The Conjuring is often cited as the scariest film ever made and fans have described it as “f***ing terrifying”. It has caused some viewers to be too scared to go to sleep in the dark.
The franchise comprises seven films, including Annabelle, The Nun and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
The movies have grossed over $2bn at the box office around the world.
An eighth film, The Nun 2, is expected to be released later this year.
Fans of the franchise are thrilled by the announcement of the TV series and expressed their excitement on social media.
Many fans want to see the series maintain the high quality of the movies, and some are eager to see the return of the characters in an anthology-style series.
Despite the excitement, some fans are concerned that the TV series may not live up to expectations, and that the franchise’s reputation could be damaged.
This development shows that Warner Bros. Discovery is looking to expand the Conjuring franchise into new media and audiences.
It will be interesting to see how the TV series is received by fans of the franchise and whether it can live up to the quality and scares of the movies.
