Although there have only been two The Conjuring films, the expanded universe of the franchise has already proved to be an enormous success. The series kicked off with 2013's The Conjuring and quickly developed a number of spin-off franchises including Anabelle and The Nun. Although not every entry in the universe is a critical favorite, they've proven to be good draws at the box office. 

The Devil Made Me Do It will be the first proper Conjuring film since 2016 when The Conjuring 2 was released. The first two installments in the series were directed by James Wan, who has become a magnate in the horror world and also directed 2018's Aquaman. Due to his busy schedule, James was unable to return to direct the third installment. Instead, Michael Chaves is the director of The Devil Made Me Do It, and James is serving as a producer. 

The film will feature the return of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as the Warrens, and will also star Ruairi O'Connor, Sarah Catherine Hook and Jullian Hilliard. The film is scheduled to be released on June 4, 2021, after being delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie will hit HBO Max at the same time it hits theaters, and will be hosted on the platform for a month.
