It’s about time for the Nun’s return! The next chapter in The Conjuring Universe will soon be in theatres and fans are hyped for it. The official Twitter account of The Nun 2 dropped the first images from the feature, and they are as terrifying as ever. Five years after the original feature scared up much critical and commercial success the demon, Valak, will return to haunt us once again.

The new images see the titular demon in an eerie home standing at the door looking at us, and another image sees Sister Irene looking at a fellow nun in sheer terror. If images are anything to go by, we can expect another spooky iteration to scare us to our bones.

What’s The Nun 2 About?

The original feature saw Sister Irene and Father Burke investigating the death of a nun in Saint Cartha’s monastery in Romania. As their investigation deepens, Sister Irene faces off against the demon but it escaped by possessing unsuspecting delivery man Maurice aka Frenchie. Interestingly, it was his exorcism that was shown in the video at Ed and Lorraine Warren’s seminars twenty years later, and when Lorraine had horrific visions of Ed’s death.

The upcoming feature is set four years after the events of the original movie and we’ll have to wait and see what horrors the demon will cause while residing in its new vessel. It’ll be interesting to see what part of Maurice’s story will be shown in this chapter perhaps his exorcism can bring The Conjuring and The Nun casts together, looping the story around.
