First Official Look At 'THE NUN II' Released

‘THE NUN II’ is gearing up for its release and although there is no official trailer for the film as of yet, Entertainment Weekly today has your first look at the film below.

The new movie sees Taissa Farmiga returning as Sister Irene, having previously tangled with the demonic Nun in the 2018 debut spinoff, with the titular character once again being played by Bonnie Aarons. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It director Michael Chaves steps in to helm the film after Corin Hardy debuted the initial adventure. The Nun II is set to hit theaters on September 8th.

Chaves confirmed to the outlet Sister Irene's status in the follow-up.

"She's living this anonymous life in this convent in Italy," Chaves revealed to the outlet. "She had this traumatic experience, this huge adventure, and now she wants to live the life of service."

Valak has now set their sights on Irene's friend Maurice, who is played by Jonas Bloquet.

"Maurice made his way to France and he's working at this boarding school as kind of a handyman," the director detailed. "He has a friendship and a flirtation with one of the teachers there, and you can see him starting to mature, so that's where our characters start out. But we know from the first film that there's something terrible inside of him, that Valak escaped within him, and events pull Irene back on this collision course with her old friend."

Anyone who's a fan of it knows the timeline and this is definitely part of the timeline," Chaves confirmed. "There's a lot of cool stuff in it. I honestly cannot wait until it comes out so I can just unload all the little Easter eggs that we've peppered through the movie."

The NUN II hits theaters on September 8th, 2023.
