While there has been no follow-up officially announced, there are more projects in development based onEd and Lorraine Warren’s cases, including a Max series set after the events of the movies that was announced in April 2023. It is also possible that moreAnnabelleandThe Nunsequels could grace the screen.
ThreeAnnabellemovies have premiered between 2014 and 2019, while the twoNunfilms premiered in 2018 and 2023 respectively.
It is also possible that Ed and Lorraine Warren could return in these potential upcoming projects in some capacity. They have appeared in many of the other spinoff movies, either via stock footage or new scenes. Even if one or both of them die inLast Rites, the fact thatthe majority of the spinoffs have been prequelscould allow them ample in-universe opportunities to appear.
