We've known for quite some time now that Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga were set to return as Ed and Lorraine Warren for a new film in The Conjuring franchise under the direction of Michael Chaves (The Curse of La Llorona), and New Line Cinema has now announced the film's official title will be The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
Official plot details were also revealed and can be read below.
"The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It reveals a chilling story of terror, murder and unknown evil that shocked even experienced real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. One of the most sensational cases from their files, it starts with a fight for the soul of a young boy, then takes them beyond anything they’d ever seen before, to mark the first time in U.S. history that a murder suspect would claim demonic possession as a defense."
The film also stars Ruairi O’Connor, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Julian Hilliard.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It was produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, who have collaborated on all of the Conjuring Universe films. Chaves directed from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring 2, Aquaman) and a story by Wan and Johnson-McGoldrick.
Serving as executive producers were Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Victoria Palmeri, Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Michelle Morrissey.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is the seventh film in the Conjuring Universe, the largest horror franchise in history, which has grossed more than $1.8 billion worldwide. It includes the first two Conjuring films, as well as Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, and Annabelle Comes Home.
The film opens in theatres nationwide on September 11th, 2020.
