The Conjuring: First Communion is dated for September 10, 2027 in the US, and no UK or Australian date has been announced. Variety reported the US date for Warner Bros. and New Line on July 15, 2026, and TheWrap had reported the same date on January 16, 2026, so the studio has held one date across both reports. Anyone searching for the next Conjuring movie in 2027 is therefore looking at a September release.

That slot matches the series habit. The Conjuring: Last Rites opened on September 5, 2025, The Nun II arrived on September 8, 2023 and The Nun (2018) opened on September 7, 2018, so early September has become the franchise's late summer home. Between Last Rites and First Communion the gap is two years.

No date change has been reported for the film. For UK and Australian audiences no dates have been reported, so both markets remain to be confirmed.

Is Conjuring First Communion Coming Out?

Yes, The Conjuring: First Communion is officially headed to theaters, with a September 10, 2027 release date. Warner Bros. dated the film in January 2026, according to TheWrap, and on July 14, 2026 the A.V. Club, citing Variety, reported that the film was officially headed to theaters with that same date. Variety's Australian edition followed on July 15, 2026 with the prequel's director, writers and two lead castings, and TheWrap repeated the September 10, 2027 date on July 29, 2026 while reporting more cast additions.

It is a prequel, and it is the next Conjuring movie after the conjuring last rites, which opened on September 5, 2025 and sits at the end of the conjuring timeline. If you want the full run of the saga before 2027, the conjuring movies in order page lays out all ten released films, which are four main films plus six spin-offs.

Trailers for the film are collected on the conjuring first communion trailer page, and the conjuring movies hub carries the wider series overview.

Conjuring First Communion Cast and Crew

The reported lead cast of The Conjuring: First Communion is Garrett Wareing as Ed Warren and Amanda Fix as Lorraine Warren, and every name so far comes from trade reports rather than a studio announcement. Variety's Australian edition reported both castings on July 15, 2026. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga played Ed and Lorraine Warren in the conjuring 2013 and the later main films, so this prequel puts younger actors into the roles for the first time.

TheWrap reported on July 29, 2026 that Charles Parnell, Marta Kessler, Caleb Dolden and Matthias Schweighöfer have joined the cast. No character names have been reported for these four. The full list sits on the conjuring cast page.

Behind the camera, Variety reported Rodrigue Huart as director, Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg as writers and Peter Safran as producer. Safran has been tied to the series since its early films. Huart is a new name to the main saga, whose four main films were directed by James Wan (two) and Michael Chaves (two). Read ed warren conjuring and lorraine warren conjuring for the characters the new leads inherit.

Announced cast. Confirmed means announced by the studio; reported means a trade report the studio has not confirmed.

Rumors About the Next Conjuring Movie

There are no sourced rumors about The Conjuring: First Communion at the moment. Casting, the director, the writers and the release date have all been reported by named outlets, which makes them reported facts and not rumors.

What remains open is the story itself. The trade reports on the film have not described its plot, its setting or the case it follows, and unsourced online chatter on those points carries no weight. A claim that Wilson and Farmiga will appear, or that another spin-off is planned, would stay a rumor until a trade outlet or the studio backs it. Until then, treat any plot detail you read elsewhere as unverified.

What We Know About the Next Conjuring Movie

The firm picture is a September 10, 2027 prequel with a new director, two new Warrens and a supporting cast with no named roles yet, and in my opinion that is a sensible reset for a series at ten films. The studio has a strong base to build on, because Last Rites earned $499 million worldwide on a $55 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo and The Numbers, so the audience was never in doubt.

Is it based on a true story? The main films draw on cases that Ed and Lorraine Warren claimed to have investigated, and the films present those claims as drama. That is the record: the Warrens' accounts, not independent proof of anything paranormal. Whether First Communion follows a specific Warren case has not been reported, so it could be argued that its source material is still unknown. Our conjuring true story page covers what the Warrens claimed and what is documented for each film.

Is Conjuring 5 confirmed? In release terms, yes, since this would be the fifth film carrying the Conjuring title, and it has a date. Is Conjuring 6 coming? No further film has been announced. Is Last Rites the last one? Perhaps the title suggested it, but the studio has since dated First Communion, so the series continues for now.

My honest expectation, hedged because no story details exist, is that the prequel's weight rests on the casting. The pairing of Ed and Lorraine carried the early films, and Wareing and Fix have the harder job of making that pairing feel fresh without copying Wilson and Farmiga. Before the date arrives, a rewatch of the nun 2018 and the conjuring last rites is the best preparation, and the conjuring movies ranked list shows where the series stands going in.
