Sister Irene has returned, and with her the most chilling demons to fight against: Tessa Farmiga returns to lead the cast of the sequel to ‘The Nun’, which will hit theaters this year.
Taissa Farmiga will wear the habit again to star in ‘The Nun 2’, sequel to ‘The Nun’ from 2018 and a new addition to the the ‘Warren File’ movies. The horror film saga continues to expand its gallery of monsters, ghosts and paranormal events with this new film, which wants to repeat the successes of its predecessor. This is everything we know about ‘The Nun 2’: release date, cast, synopsis, trailer and more.
In the original film we followed sister Irene (Farmiga) together with father Burke (Damian Bichir), in their fight against the “demon nun” Valek, in Romania during 1952. ‘The Nun’ was released in 2018 and swept the box office, raising a total of 366 million dollars around the world, becoming the highest grossing of the franchise to date. This movie came about as a spin off from the second release of the Warren saga, ‘Warren File: The Enfield Case‘. In it, we found Farmiga’s older sister, Vera, as the protagonist, who has already led the cast of three films in the saga. Everything stays in the family.
Thus, Farmiga will resume her role playing sister Irene within the popular universe of horror stories, originally titled ‘The Conjuring’, and will direct the project Michael Chaves, who was also in charge of the seventh premiere of the saga: ‘Warren File 3 : Forced by the devil’. What new nightmares await us inside the convent?

‘The Nun 2’: synopsis
There is still no official synopsis for ‘The Nun 2’, but we do know some pretty big details and theories that could be very surprising to fans.
‘The Nun 2’ will be set in 1950s France. The first film was set in 1952, so the sequel will need to be contained in this decade as well. The story, however, will probably be new and self-contained, since the end of ‘The Nun’ did not offer many threads to pull from beyond a surprise appearance by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as the Warrens.
In fact, ‘The Nun 2’ could confirm a theory widely shared by fans: Irene, the protagonist, is the young version of Lorraine Warren. This sequel could confirm or reject this theory, but there are certainly clues that point to it. And that it is the actress’s little sister who gives life to the character only fuels the rumors.
