It seems like forever ago that the writer’s and actors’ strikes started. Movies and shows that were announced before May 2023 got us excited for the future. But once Hollywood shut down these projects were put on the back burner.
Thankfully Hollywood re-opened in September and it seemed like everything, although delayed, was back on track. We wanted to revisit the news about a Conjuring TV show that was announced back in April of 2023.
This news came out about the time Max became HBO Max, also enveloping the Warner Bros.-owned Discovery+’s catalog of shows. During a press conference, the studio said it was developing a Harry Potter series and a Game of Thrones prequel. They also announced that a series was being produced which furthered the world of The Conjuring.
A Max representative said at the time the show will, “continue the story established in the feature films.” There have been eight stories so far in that realm each with varying degrees of criticism. The next feature film called The Conjuring: Last Rites was also a development casualty during the strikes, but it seems to have righted itself afterward and is currently in pre-production.
Would anyone still like to see a Conjuring series? Or has time taken its toll and interest in the project weakened?
There is no word yet on whether the series will become a post-strike reality or not.
