The Warrens take on their last and most dangerous case in The Conjuring: Last Rites, watch teaser
Warner Bros recently released the teaser for The Conjuring: Last Rites, which will follow renowned exorcists Ed and Lorraine as they take on their final case. The horror franchise, based on the lives of real-life exorcists Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren, has spanned eight films to date. This upcoming installment is based on the last case the couple handled in their prolific careers. The teaser opens with a scene inside the basement of the Warrens, and Ed warns his visitors against touching anything. You can see several artefacts that they have collected over the years, including the dangerous doll named Annabelle. As the camera pans towards different items, Ed says, 'Everything you see in here is either haunted, cursed or has been used in some ritualistic practices. Nothing's a toy, not even the toys.'

As the new family in question is introduced, Ed says, 'Anything can happen, and most likely anything will happen,' as we see another possessed toy. The Warrens seem to be talking about the case to someone who is interested in the story, and the movie will most likely be in the form of memories of that particular case. This becomes more apparent as we see a tape recorder starting up and cameras being pointed at a couple who seem to look like the Warrens, but older. There is a montage of different entities terrorising people, as Lorraine's voice is heard (presumably over the phone), and she says, 'Ed, something has changed; something is different,' and then we see her drop a locket into a sink filled with blood, and quickly the blood starts filling up the entire room. As we see more horrifying visuals, a message appears on the screen which reads, 'Discover why this case was their last.' The Conjuring: Last Rites, which is releasing on September 5, will be helmed by Michael Chavez, who has directed films like The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), Nun 2 (2023) and The Curse of La Llorna (2019).

The Conjuring: Last Rites, final chapter of the horror franchise releasing soon
A horror film series sequel is coming to the theatre near you this September. The final instalment of the 'Conjuring' film series, titled 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' will be released on September 5, 2025. The film will conclude the Warrens' story with a focus on the Smurl family haunting and the Warrens' daughter, Judy. #Operation Sindoor India-Pakistan Clash Live Updates| Missiles, shelling, and attacks — here's all that's happening Pakistani Air Force jet shot down in Pathankot by Indian Air Defence: Sources India on high alert: What's shut, who's on leave, and state-wise emergency measures Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are reprising their roles as Lorraine and Ed Warren for this fourth instalment of the main Conjuring movies. The film will explore a more personal story, delving into the family dynamics and faith that have driven the franchise. 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' takes place in 1986, five years after the events of 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It'. The Warrens have largely retired from exorcisms following Ed's heart attack, but are drawn back in by the Smurl family haunting case.

Their story gained public attention through appearances on TV programs and a book titled 'The Haunted: One Family's Nightmare'. Rebecca Calder and Elliot Cowan will portray Janet and Jack Smurl in 'Last Rites'. According to Safran, the Smurl case "percolated on a regular basis" as the filmmakers plotted the earlier films. Live Events Mia Tomlinson plays Judy Warren as an adult, and Ben Hardy plays her boyfriend, Tony. The film explores Judy's experience growing up as the daughter of the Warrens and her relationship with her parents. Tomlinson anticipated her real-world inspiration would be closed off to life-probing questions from the actress playing her, especially with such a sensitive family story lingering in her background, but she was surprised by Judy's openness. Hardy teases "some fun dynamics" that occur when Tony is introduced to the Warrens. Chaves sees Wilson's Ed as serving a Father of the Bride role when it comes to Judy and Tony. Wilson agrees that it is an accurate portrait of that dynamic: "I don't have girls, so it was my only time to act like that," he says as a dad to two boys. Flashbacks to young Ed and Lorraine, played by Orion Smith and Madison Lawlor, will also be featured in the film. Wilson feels it's a poetic choice made for this final chapter. "Whether it's dealing with mortality or dealing with where they are at the end of their career, you're forced to look in the mirror," he comments. "Who's on the other side may not be the most pleasant. Those are themes we definitely explore." Chaves explains that "Ultimately, this is a story about a family," he explains. "At its core, it's about parents and a child. It's about the experience of being a parent, and our children often mirror ourselves. They are reflections of who we are. That might be an element of the film." On the last day of filming his final Conjuring movie, Patrick Wilson didn't have some momentous cathartic moment. There was no, "Oh my God, it's all over," he says of wrapping this fall's The Conjuring: Last Rites and, with it, his 12-year stint as demonologist Ed Warren. Wilson just doesn't look at life in those terms.

‘The Conjuring: Last Rites' First Looks Set Stage For The Warren's 'Darkest' Case Yet
Few horror franchises have maintained both longevity and consistency the way The Conjuring has. Since its debut in 2013, audiences have followed Ed and Lorraine Warren across haunted houses, courtrooms, and possessed basements. Now, after more than a decade of facing the supernatural, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are ready to close the book on their iconic roles. The Conjuring: Last Rites will serve as a farewell not just to the characters but to a chapter of the franchise defined by their onscreen partnership. Set in 1986, five years after the events of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It , The Conjuring: Last Rites finds the Warrens in retirement — at least until one final case lures them back. This time, the haunting isn't just about what's lurking in the shadows, but what's been buried in the past. 'I felt strongly that the biggest, most emotional story we could tell was the most personal story,' irector Michael Chaves told Entertainment Weekly. Vera Farmiga hinted that The Conjuring: Last Rites introduces a 'moment that makes time stand still.' Her comments suggest the Warrens will face something unlike anything they've encountered before: something deeply tied to their own history. Wilson, meanwhile, described the film as a return to the franchise's core: a story centered on family, faith, and fear. 'The third film was more of a true crime detour,' he said. 'This really felt like a proper ending to get back to the heart of the franchise, the family of it all.' The Conjuring: Last Rites adapts the infamous Smurl haunting, a real-life case that drew national attention in the late '80s. For producers, the true story's media exposure became an asset. Executive producer Peter Safran pointed out that it's 'one of the more Googleable ones,' giving audiences an eerie head start before stepping into theaters. The Smurls' claims made the rounds on TV shows like Larry King Live , turning their story into one of the most well-documented cases in the Warrens' archive. Safran confirmed that Last Rites marks the final appearance of Wilson and Farmiga as the Warrens, but not necessarily the end of the franchise. 'It's the end of the story with Patrick and Vera,' he said, leaving the door open for future projects set within the same universe. New Line Cinema president Richard Brenner echoed that sentiment, calling this the end of The Conjuring 's 'phase one' and teasing additional entries including new titles and potential crossovers with other Warner Bros. horror properties like Evil Dead . Whether or not the Warrens return in some future form, The Conjuring: Last Rites closes a chapter that began with a quiet knock on a farmhouse door in Rhode Island and ends with a case that may reveal just as much about the Warrens as it does the spirits they chase. Fans will soon find out what haunts a ghost hunter when the ghosts are personal. The Conjuring: Last Rites opens in cinemas on 5 September.
