Vera Farmiga, renowned for portraying paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring franchise, has sparked intense speculation about her and Patrick Wilson’s future in the series. As the fourth movie, The Conjuring: Last Rites, completes filming, Farmiga’s heartfelt social media post hints at a possible farewell to the roles that made the pair iconic.
This week, Farmiga shared a photo of herself and Wilson in character as Ed and Lorraine Warren on their fictional wedding day. Her accompanying caption reflected on the duo’s journey since the inception of the franchise.
“Roundabout 5000 days ago, this guy and I signed a WB contract and said ‘I do’ to embodying Ed and Lorraine Warren,” she wrote.
Farmiga disclosed that while Wilson had wrapped his scenes, she had a few hours remaining on set. She called their partnership a “match made in heaven,” describing the moment Wilson shaved off his signature sideburns and left the set as deeply emotional. Her words, coupled with a nostalgic tone, have fans questioning whether this marks the end of their involvement in the franchise.
Uncertainty Surrounding The Conjuring TV Series
The speculation extends to The Conjuring TV series, announced by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023 as an extension of the Warrens’ story. While the studio initially hinted that the series would continue their narrative, Farmiga’s farewell suggests otherwise. Referring to the project as “a hell of an era,” she hinted at the possibility of moving on, leaving fans uncertain about her and Wilson’s participation.
HBO and Max executive Casey Bloys confirmed in June 2024 that the TV series is still in development. However, details about its cast or storyline remain under wraps, fueling curiosity about whether new actors will step into the Warrens’ roles or if the series will take a different direction entirely.
Fourth Film to Release in 2025
The Conjuring: Last Rites began filming in October 2024 and is slated for release on September 5, 2025. Directed by Michael Chaves, the movie promises to delve into yet another chilling case from the Warrens’ archives. Whether it will serve as a definitive conclusion to the characters’ big-screen journey remains to be seen.
For now, Farmiga and Wilson’s portrayal of the Warrens remains an integral part of the franchise’s success, with their chemistry being a highlight across its films. Fans are left with a bittersweet anticipation, waiting to see if Last Rites will indeed be their final appearance or if there’s more in store for the Warrens in other formats.
