The Nun II is coming to Max just in time for Halloween.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Nun II, which is the eighth installment of The Conjuring franchise, will begin streaming on Max on October 27, 2023. Directed by Michael Chaves, The Nun II premiered in theaters on September 8, 2023, and went on to make $257.6 million at the worldwide box office.
What is The Nun II about?
“1956 – France,” the official synopsis reads. “A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit follows Sister Irene as she once again comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun. Taissa Farmiga returns as Sister Irene, joined again by Jonas Bloquet as Maurice, along with Storm Reid as Sister Debra, Anna Popplewell as Kate, and Bonnie Aarons, surrounded by an ensemble cast of international talent.”
The Nun II’s screenplay comes from Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and Amelia Cooper, with the story by Cooper. Peter Safran and James Wan both serve as producers. It received mixed reviews from critics but was generally perceived to be an improvement over the first Nun movie.
The Conjuring franchise began in 2013 with James Wan’s The Conjuring, which starred Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. Subsequent entries include 2014’s Annabelle, 2016’s The Conjuring 2, 2017’s Annabelle: Creation, 2018’s The Nun, 2019’s Annabelle Comes Home, and 2021’s The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
The Curse of La Llorona, which was directed by Chaves in 2019, is sometimes considered to be part of the franchise given that it sees Tony Amendola reprise his role from Annabelle and has a handful of other Easter eggs; however, Chaves has previously stated that he doesn’t consider it to be an official entry in the series’ continuity.
The Nun II hits Max on October 27, 2023.
