Rodrigue Huart will take the helm as director, working from a script penned by Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg. The film will be produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, both of whom have been integral to the success of the franchise. “The Conjuring: First Communion” is expected to serve as a prequel, diving deeper into the series’ chilling lore.

In addition to the horror film, Warner Bros. has scheduled Sam Esmail’s new project titled “Panic Carefully” for February 26, 2027.

Another notable project in the lineup is an untitled sci-fi film starring Keanu Reeves, which has been set for August 13, 2027. Previously titled “Shiver,” the film will be directed by Tim Miller and follows a smuggler who finds himself entangled in a deadly double-cross during a job in the Caribbean. Surrounded by corpses, hostile mercenaries, and hungry sharks, the protagonist becomes trapped in a time loop and must find a way to escape the cycle.

Lastly, J.J. Abrams will direct the action-adventure film “The Great Beyond,” scheduled for release on November 13, 2026. This film tells the story of a young married couple fighting for survival against a supernatural entity. The cast includes Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey, Samuel L.
