The Conjuring film franchise is set to come to an end with the fourth installment, The Conjuring: Last Rites, which Warner Bros. has scheduled for a theatrical release on September 5, 2025 release – and with that date now just a few months away, a teaser trailer has dropped online. You can check it out in the embed above.

Up until this week, we didn’t have any plot info on The Conjuring: Last Rites, but Entertainment Weekly was finally able to draw some information out of the filmmakers. They shared that the film is set in 1986, five years after the events of The Devil Made Me Do It. The Warrens have retired from the exorcist business, largely due to Ed’s heart attack, the one sustained during the demonic happenings of the third film. They still hit the university circuit, presenting talks at various schools, but even those opportunities are drying up.

The first images from The Conjuring: Last Rites reveal Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga's final supernatural case as the Warrens. As the fourth and final Conjuring film, directed once again by Michael Chaves, Wilson and Farmiga will reprise their roles as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they take on their last case. The Conjuring: Last Rites cast also includes Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, Tilly Walker, Molly Cartwright, Peter Wight, and Kate Fahy.

Now, via Entertainment Weekly, a total of eight first-look images from The Conjuring: Last Rites were revealed. The images show Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren, along with several flashbacks to a young Ed and Lorraine, played by Orion Smith and Madison Lawlor.

Mia Tomlinson's Judy Warren was also revealed; Ed and Lorraine's daughter, who was played by Sterling Jerins and Mckenna Grace in previous movies.

Update: A behind-the-scenes video for The Conjuring: Last Rites has been released alongside the new images. You can check that out above. The video finds James Wan, Patrick Wilson, and Vera Farmiga reminiscing over their time in the franchise while teasing the latest installment. The Conjuring: Last Rites will bring the story of the Warrens to a close, but not before they investigate their darkest case yet. The first trailer for the film will be released on Thursday, so keep an eye out!

Up until today,...

While The Conjuring: Last Rites won’t necessarily mark the end of the franchise – rather, it’s said to be the ending of the universe’s “phase one” – this year’s upcoming sequel will (allegedly) mark the final Conjuring movie to star Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. And Entertainment Weekly brings us the first images today.

Director Michael Chaves tells EW, “Even as we were developing it, we were throwing a bunch of ideas out: ‘How shamelessly big can we make it?’ ‘How epic can we make it?’ ‘Is this the culmination of all the demons coming to face them?'” But ultimately, he notes, “I felt strongly that the biggest, most emotional story we could tell was the most personal story.”

Patrick Wilson teases in the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, “The third film was kind of a detour. It was more a murder mystery,...

Quick Links A Family Drama Starring Loki's Tom Hiddleston Archipelago Was a Critical Success for Its Portrayal of Family Struggles Audiences Found It Hard to Relate to Archipelago

Tom Hiddleston is an English actor who rose to fame by portraying Norse God Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting in 2011. His charming smile and powerful delivery of lines have made him gain dedicated fans all around the world. Few know, however, that Hiddleston is a classically trained actor. If his career took some time to take off since his graduation from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2005, Hiddleston did have a narrow relationship with director Joanna Hogg during his quieter years, and they both had their silver screen debut in her 2007 movie Unrelated.

Three years later, one of the most controversial works by the English filmmaker was released. Archipelago, a drama film about familial ties and struggles, received a...

Jonathan Pryce was more than ready to portray Prince Philip when the call came five years ago for him to embody Queen Elizabeth’s consort in the Netflix drama hit The Crown.

“He’s someone I’ve lived with all my life,” he says.

From a distance, of course.

“He’s been part of my life, part of all our lives, since 1953, when I watched the Queen’s Coronation aged six,” he says. His family, in Carmel in Flintshire, North Wales, was one of the first on their street to have a television set.

Those memories were summoned once the call came, seven decades later, to play the man, who in public at least, was always seen walking behind his sovereign; hands clasped in the small of his back, his anointed spouse’s “strength and stay.”

Once Pryce burrowed into the whopping reams of background “the size of a book,...
