Cancelled The Crooked Man spin-off film

In May 2017, Safran said that the Crooked Man character from The Conjuring 2 was being
considered by the studio for a feature film.[93] By June of the same year, a spin-off film titled The
Crooked Man was officially in development with Mike Van Waes serving as screenwriter, based on
an original story by Wan; Wan and Safran were set to produce the project. Though in its early stages
of development, the filmmaker stated that the sub-genre of horror would be a "dark fairytale". [94] By
September 2018, Safran stated that work on the script was ongoing, and that the studio wants to
wait until they have a draft that they like before further production will commence. The producer
reiterated what Wan had stated, reaffirming that the intention is for each installment in the franchise
to have its own style.[95] He later stated that while The Crooked Man was intended to be the next
movie following The Conjuring 2, the project had been delayed in favor of fast-tracking production
on The Nun due to the audience response to the character.[84][85] In November 2022, Wan announced
that, outside of his control, the project was not moving forward at that time while expressing hope for
a potential future release.[96][97]

In May 2015, John R. Leonetti, was announced as the director of Wolves at the Door for New Line
Cinema, with Gary Dauberman as screenwriter and Peter Safran as producer. Although the film is
not an installment in The Conjuring Universe, it stars Eric Ladin, who reprises his role as Detective
Clarkin from Leonetti's 2014 film, Annabelle. Wolves at the Door is loosely based on the Manson
Family murders in 1969.[98]

The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

In October 2017, Wan served as a producer of a horror film directed by Michael Chaves and
starring Linda Cardellini, which was then titled The Children.[99] The film was later retitled The Curse
of La Llorona[100] (also known as The Curse of the Weeping Woman in some international markets).

Although the film is not an installment in The Conjuring Universe, it stars Tony Amendola, who
reprises his role from Annabelle as Father Perez.[102] The character gives direction to the family being
tormented by the titular spirit, and relates the haunting to his experiences with the demonic entity
attached to the doll.[103]

Television
In May 2021, Peter Safran said that there were ongoing developments for a television series set
within The Conjuring Universe. The producer stated that while they did not want to take away from
the film installments, there were "some more long-form stories that would be better told over eight
episodes or eight hours as opposed to just a two-hour movie". Safran acknowledged that an
expansion of the franchise into television shows has been in discussion for some time, with the
launch of HBO Max providing Warner Bros. Entertainment with a distributor for any potential series.

In April 2023, an untitled television series in the franchise was announced as being in development.
The show would take place chronologically after the events of the films, with James Wan and Peter
Safran serving as executive producers. The project was set to be a joint-venture production
between New Line Television, Warner Bros. Television Studios, Atomic Monster, the Safran
Company, and Max Originals, and was being developed for release via streaming exclusively on
Warner Bros. Discovery's Max.[104][105][106]
