Everything We Know About The Nun 2 So Far

Having a favorite demonic nun might have once sounded something entirely out of the question. That was until ‘The Nun’ came along and showed us what we’d been missing this entire time. Starting as a spin-off from ‘The Conjuring 2,’ ‘The Nun’ franchise has grown to be the most successful brand of the franchise to date.

‘The Conjuring’ Universe is one that continues to grow, with ‘The Nun’ alone bringing in a staggering $365.6 million across the world. It might be little surprise that a sequel to the movie has been in the works since 2019, with ‘The Nun 2’ becoming a real thing in April 2022. Everything we know about ‘The Nun 2’ so far could be the thing some of us need as we wait for her to arrive.

When is The Nun 2 set to be released?

So long as nothing comes along and throws a wrench in the works, ‘The Nun 2’ is set to hit the big screen on September 8, 2023. While it might feel like an odd date, it’s actually five years since the first movie hit our screens and took over the world of horror. However, with filming only starting in October 2022, many are worried that things might be pushing it. No one is sure if filming has wrapped just yet. Still, it only took one month to film ‘The Nun,’ meaning it might already be in post-production as we speak.

Who is returning to The Nun 2?

It wouldn’t be ‘The Nun’ without the lead character, and Bonnie Aarons has already been confirmed to be back in the role. Sister Irene (played by Taissa Farmiga) and Maurice “Frenchie” Theriault (played by Jonas Bloquet) are also set to return to the big screen once more. While Father Burke (played by Demián Bichir) doesn’t seem to be on the cast list, Storm Reid is set to take on the new leading role - but that’s all we know about her character. Katelyn Rose Downey and Anna Popplewell are on the lineup for a mother-daughter duo, and they’re not alone. Director Micahel Chaves, the one behind ‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,’ is back behind the camera for the latest installment in the franchise. Oh, and we can’t forget that Alexa Cooper - the one who recently wrote the horror ‘M3GAN’ - is the one in charge of the script for ‘The Nun 2.’

What will The Nun 2 be about?

No one is entirely sure what ‘The Nun 2’ will bring to life, but it’s almost guaranteed to be filled with horror and gripping scenes. The thing we do know is that we’re heading back to the ‘50s once more, with ‘The Nun’ taking place in 1952. If the franchise chooses to stick to the real-time gap, there’s a chance that ‘The Nun 2’ could take place in 1957. Then again, it could be slightly earlier, as filming of the movie was delayed due to the global health crisis. There doesn’t seem to be any suggestion that ‘The Nun 2’ will have much of a connection to the first movie, potentially bringing its own standalone story to life. Still, it will almost certainly showcase its links to ‘The Conjuring’ Universe in some way.

Are there any trailers for The Nun 2 yet?

Sadly, we have to hold onto our hats for a little longer, as there is currently no trailer for ‘The Nun 2.’ This all depends on whether or not filming has wrapped, with teaser trailers likely coming sometime in the months before the expected release date in September. Hopefully, we won’t be left waiting too long to see what ‘The Nun 2’ has to offer to the franchise.

Everything we know about ‘The Nun 2’ so far isn’t too much, but it’s enough to get horror lovers everywhere excited. While we have a few months to go, there’s nothing stopping us from enjoying the ultimate ‘The Conjuring’ Universe binge in the meantime.
