Prior to the release of in June 2021, director Michael Chaves commented in an interview with Empire on the possibility of future installments in The Conjuring series: "What [''The Devil Made Me Do It''] hopefully does is open up this new chapter for the Warrens. This has a very unique ending to The Conjuring films. I would be excited to see where it could go from here."[1] Actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga also expressed interest in returning. "Oh my God, I'd love to [continue]," stated Farmiga. "It's interesting, we have to up the fear in each one. Demonology is already so high-pitched and operatic."[2] In October 2022, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that a fourth Conjuring film was in development with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick writing the screenplay, and James Wan and Peter Safran returning as producers.[3]
