Taissa Farmiga has given an update about the long-awaited The Nun 2. As one of the many spinoffs of The Conjuring, there has been ongoing speculation on when a follow-up to the 2018 horror film would be green-lit. Farmiga starred in The Nun as Sister Irene, who is summoned to help investigate the suicide of a young nun in Romania, which leads to an unspeakable demonic force. The Nun currently stands as the highest-grossing installment in The Conjuring Universe.
The Farmiga name is certainly no stranger to The Conjuring Universe as Taissa's oldest sister Vera Farmiga has starred in The Conjuring trilogy as real-life paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren. With the first film, The Conjuring, directed by James Wan, kicking off the shared horror franchise in 2013, The Nun is one of three spinoffs alongside Annabelle and The Curse of La Llorona.
“There have definitely been whisperings and talks in the last year, but the pandemic has obviously affected everything including filming and such. So I heard mentions of it back in the fall, maybe, and there were talks of potentially trying to see what my availability was. But I also haven’t seen a script. So I haven’t heard anything definitive or anyone say, ‘Hey, this is going.’ So I don’t know, but I would love to go back and visit Sister Irene. It’s been years.
Even though The Nun was a box office hit, the critical response was hugely negative compared to its predecessors in The Conjuring Universe. Nevertheless, franchise producer Peter Safran has spoken about the sequel's development and that it has a"really fun story" planned.
It's been no secret that the pandemic affected so much in the film industry as well as the rest of the world. Whether or not fans of The Conjuring Universe even think that The Nun should get a sequel due to its panned reception, Farmiga has made it clear that the folks at WB are still bound to make it happen and would love to return. If all goes well, the sequel could even fare better than the original. If it happened with Annabelle: Creation, it can happen with The Nun 2. .
