When Is The Nun 2 Releasing In 2023?

Published by

Michael Chaves has directed the upcoming American gothic supernatural horror movie ‘The Nun 2’. It serves as the sequel to the 2018 movie ‘The Nun and the ninth installment of The Conjuring Universe franchise.

The plot takes us four years after where the first film ended. The new film also features Sister Irene finding herself face to face once again with Valak, the demonic force known as the Nun- this time at a boarding school in France.

When Will ‘The Nun’ be Released in Theatre?

‘The Nun’ was released in the United States on September 7, 2018. Both films are based on characters written by Gary Dauberman and James Wan, the latter being one of the producers of the upcoming film.

It was first hinted by Wan in August of 2017, even before the release of ‘The Nun’ as he stated that he already knew at that time about the plot of a sequel film that would potentially complete the circle tying it back to the story of Lorraine set up with the first two Conjurings.

Peter Safran, the other producer of the upcoming movie, announced in April 2019 that the sequel is in fact in development. Both Wan and Safran were producers of the first film too. Akela Cooper joined the project as a screenwriter later that month.
