Where Does The Nun 2 Fit in The Conjuring Universe Timeline?

With The Nun 2 finally heading into theaters, fans wonder where the Michael Chaves-directed movie fits into The Conjuring Universe timeline. As the evil entity Valak continues its reign of terror, connecting the dots between this demonic saga and the previous Conjuring films might not be easy. Here’s what you need to know. No worries, there are no spoilers.

When does The Nun 2 take place?

The events of The Nun 2 take place in 1956.

As it has been widely promoted, The Nun 2 takes four years after Sister Irene’s (Taissa Farmiga) first encounter with Valak (Bonnie Aarons). Sister Irene and Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) aren’t the only ones who have left Romania, as the demon has become more powerful than ever, and it’s looking for vengeance. This time, Sister Irene will team up with Sister Debra (Storm Reid) to take on the old enemy, hoping to prevent Valak from taking over an all-girl boarding school in France.

The Conjuring Universe timeline in chronological order

Here’s a closer look at the The Conjuring Universe timeline.

  • The Nun
  • Annabelle: Creation
  • The Nun 2
  • Annabelle
  • The Conjuring
  • Annabelle Comes Home
  • The Curse of La Llorona
  • The Conjuring 2
  • The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The events of The Conjuring Universe go down between 1952 (when The Nun is set) and 1981 (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It). Annabelle: Creation is set in 1955, The Nun 2 in 1956, and then there is a time skip until 1967 and what fans saw in Annabelle. The story seen in the first Conjuring goes down in 1971, Annabelle Comes Home in 1972, and The Curse of La Llorona (which references the franchise, but it’s a sort of standalone) in 1973. It follows The Conjuring 2 in 1977. Currently, producers haven’t revealed when the story of the upcoming The Conjuring: Last Rites takes place.

The Nun 2 will premiere in the U.S. on September 8, 2023.
