‘The Conjuring’ Universe: Where to Stream Every Movie in the Horror Franchise (2024)

More than a decade since the release of The Conjuring in 2013, the James Wan-created The Conjuring Universe remains the highest-grossing horror franchise to date, and the only franchise in history to cross the $2 billion mark. Loosely based on the real-life cases of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, the franchise is now eight movies deep and encompasses three subfranchises – The Conjuring, The Nun, and Annabelle – with even more projects in the works.

Dubbed The Conjuring Universe, the record-breaking film franchise consists of the main series of films – The Conjuring (2013), The Conjuring 2 (2016), and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) – as well as several sequels and spinoffs. Kicking off in 2014, inspired by a story of an allegedly-haunted Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle, the Annabelle spinoff trilogy includes 2014’s Annabelle, 2017’s Annabelle: Creation, and 2019’s Annabelle Comes Home. The third subfranchise, The Nun, consists of two movies and stars Taissa Farmiga and Jonas Blouquet as Sister Irene and Maurice with Storm Reid, who confront the Demon Nun, an incarnation of Valak, from The Conjuring 2.

The Conjuring franchise is set to continue to grow, with several projects currently in the works. Max is currently developing a The Conjuring TV series, which “would take place chronologically after the events of the films.” A release window for the show is unclear at this time. A fourth and final Conjuring film, which will wrap up the main movie series, is also in the works and is set to premiere next year.

Horror fans looking to binge the record-breaking franchise this Halloween season are in luck, as every film is currently available to stream. Keep scrolling to see where to stream The Conjuring Universe films.
