The Conjuring TV Show: Promising Future After It: Welcome to Derry Success

by

Fans of The Conjuring horror series have a lot to look forward to. Since the first film came out in 2013, audiences have loved following Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) as they explore the world of the supernatural. The latest movie, The Conjuring: Last Rites, released in 2025, continues their chilling adventures while also adding deeper emotional layers to the story.

It’s challenging to keep a movie franchise fresh, particularly in horror, because audiences have seen so many similar plots and scares. However, the Conjuring series shows real potential.

HBO Max’s Conjuring Show Sounds More Exciting After It: Welcome To Derry

Seeing how good HBO Max’s It: Welcome to Derry is makes us more hopeful about their upcoming The Conjuring TV series. Many film franchises, like Star Wars and various Marvel shows – even the recently underwhelming Secret Invasion – haven’t successfully transitioned to television, but Derry suggests this one might be different.

Given the success of It: Welcome to Derry, there’s good reason to believe the The Conjuring TV show will be equally compelling. The HBO Max series has received favorable feedback, and fans of Stephen King are excited to revisit this universe, demonstrating a clear appetite for horror stories on television.

Okay, I’ll admit, I was a little worried about whether we really needed another installment in The Conjuring universe. But seeing how genuinely scary It: Welcome to Derry turned out to be gives me hope! The Warrens investigate some seriously creepy supernatural stuff, and that atmosphere translates really well. It proves there’s a lot of potential for bringing that same unsettling feeling to a TV series, and I’m cautiously optimistic about where they can take it.

While we don’t know the specifics of the story yet, it’s likely the new series will again be set in a haunted house. This location is key to the series and has already delivered some truly memorable and frightening moments.

What The Conjuring Show Can Learn From HBO Max’s It Prequel

We don’t yet know the plot of The Conjuring TV show, or whether it will be a prequel or a continuation of the latest movie. Ideally, it would follow a similar format to It: Welcome to Derry and be a prequel, as there’s still a lot of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s history that hasn’t been explored.

As reported by CT Insider, Ed and Lorraine Warren founded their organization, the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), in 1952. It would be interesting if a Conjuring movie explored that period of their lives and revealed the reasons behind their unusual and frightening career path.

The It prequel delivers on what fans want most—the terrifying clown Pennywise—and expands the story by taking place in 1962. This setting is decades before the events of the It films, which are set in the 1980s, and helps fill in some backstory.

The upcoming Conjuring series should include the Annabelle doll and focus on a previously untold story from the Warrens’ investigations. It could also benefit from incorporating subtle references, like Easter eggs, to Stephen King’s It, rewarding long-time fans who have followed the series since 2013.

Look, throwing in nods to past films can be great, but it has to be done well. If these references feel forced or out of place, you start to question whether this whole thing should have just stayed a movie. It needs to justify existing as a TV series, and clever callbacks are one way to do that – if they land, that is.
