Nun shall escape Valak: Everything to know about The Nun II
The Nun II comes out on September 8.
The Nun II, directed by Michael Chaves and set to hit theaters on September 8, 2023, promises to send chills down the spines of viewers once again. Serving as a sequel to the bone-chilling 2018 film The Nun, this upcoming installment is the ninth addition to the ever-expanding Conjuring Universe franchise.
The Conjuring Universe
Before we dive into the malevolent world of The Nun II, let's take a moment to appreciate the broader universe it belongs to. The Conjuring Universe, masterminded by James Wan and Peter Safran, has become a hallmark of supernatural horror in contemporary cinema. With its interconnected stories and iconic characters, it has redefined the genre.
A long-awaited comeback
The idea of a sequel to The Nun was first teased by James Wan in 2017. By 2019, producer Peter Safran confirmed that the project was in its early stages of development. Akela Cooper initially took the reins as the sole writer, but the script underwent revisions with contributions from Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing.

The return of Valak
Set four years after the events of the original film, The Nun II promises to revisit the ominous presence of Valak in a new and terrifying setting.
