The film will be written and directed by first-time filmmaker Gary Dauberman. Dauberman’s writing credits include 2014’s Annabelle and 2017’s Annabelle: Creation, and It as well as Corin Hardy’s upcoming The Nun (out Sept. 7) and It: Chapter 2.

The currently untitled third Annabelle film will be produced by Wan’s Atomic Monster and the Peter Safran Company for New Line and Warner Bros. The movie will tie back directly with the Conjuring series, although the exact logline is currently being kept under wraps.
