Annabelle Comes Home Is Already Bringing Us a Fresh Batch of Nightmares

Updated on 3/18/2019 at 9:23 AM

The expansive universe that first began with The Conjuring back in 2013 is getting even bigger. On Oct. 16, Variety confirmed that a third Annabelle film is on the way, which means we have heaps upon heaps of nightmares to look forward to in the future. While The Nun is the latest film to enter the timeline, there have been two previous Annabelle movies. And frankly, the second one, which showed how the doll came to be possessed in the first place, is pretty good! We can only imagine what kind of horrors Annabelle Comes Home may hold. Luckily for you, we've tracked down quite a bit of information about the upcoming film!

The Story

According to a new report from Variety, we're done looking into the past at Annabelle's freaky origins. Now, it's time to return to the present. As you might recall, the Annabelle doll has been locked away in the Warren artifact room, just like in real life. The new film has Annabelle "awakening the room's evil," which sets its sights on a new target: the Warrens's 10-year-old daughter, Judy. Oh, sh*t!

The Cast

This is super exciting: Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have signed on to star in the film. It's like we get to spend quality time with our favorite horror mom and dad! Playing the Warrens's daughter Judy is McKenna Grace, who's fresh off the freaky success of The Haunting of Hill House.

The Director

Gary Dauberman wrote the script and will step up to the plate as a director for the first time! But never fear — James Wan, the man who basically dreamed up The Conjuring's ever-expanding universe, is on board to produce. It's in good hands.

The Title

The official film title, Annabelle Comes Home, was announced via video teaser on March 15.

The Release Date

It's coming much sooner than you think: it's slated for release on June, 28 2019!
