Max, the new streaming platform that comes from the HBO Max and Discovery+ merger, has announced the development of a television show based on James Wan’s (M3GAN, Saw) horror films. The series will be set in the same universe as New Line Cinema’s The Conjuring movies, which are also distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Via the Warner Bros. Discovery press release, Wan’s Atomic Monster Productions will work in conjunction with Peter Safran’s (Aquaman, The Suicide Squad) The Safran Company and Warner Bros. Television to produce the thriller. Both Wan and Safran will reportedly executive produce.

The Conjuring universe spans seven films, with an eighth coming out later this year, and boasts over two billion dollars at the worldwide box office. These films, in order of events, are as follows: The Nun (2018), Annabelle: Creation (2017), Annabelle (2014), The Conjuring (2013), Annabelle Comes Home (2019), The Conjuring 2 (2016), and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021). Interestingly, while Wan worked on The Curse of La Llorona and that has a connection to the franchise, the director of the 2019 movie has revealed that it is not considered to be part of the Conjuring film series.

The newest addition to the universe will be The Nun 2, which will be released in theaters on September 8th.

Warner Bros. has also announced several other green-lit projects for Max, such as a new Games of Thrones prequel, a Harry Potter series, a Big Bang Theory spinoff, and a Gremlins animated series, among others. Additionally, several features and teasers have been released for The Penguin, The Regime, The Sympathizer, and True Detective.

Following the unveiling, HBO Max has already contacted its subscribers to alert them of the changes coming to the platform. Max will arrive on May 23 and will already contain existing HBO Max subscribers’ information (e.g. profiles, settings, watch history, etc.). While Max has also revealed three new pricing options, existing subscribers will still be able to use their current plan features for a few months after the rebrand.
