The next installment in The Conjuring Universe comes on September 8, with the release of “The Nun 2. Interestingly enough “The Nun” is the highest-grossing film in the entire Conjuring Universe to date. Michael Chaves is directing the sequel and Bonnie Aarons will be reprising the role of the demonic nun Valak. Unfortunately for that demon, Taissa Farmiga will also be returning as its adversary, Sister Irene.

Here is the logline for “The Nun 2” for the moment.

1956 – France. A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit THE NUN follows SISTER IRENE as she once again comes face to face with the demonic force VALAK – THE DEMON NUN.

As for the upcoming series, it will be interesting to see how it is developed. Will it be a linear story with multiple characters that we are familiar with? Or will be new ones that we haven’t seen? So far it has been a solid universe that has been in good hands.
