Taissa Farmiga joins The Conjuring spin-off The Nun

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Looks like Taissa Farmiga will be joining her older sister Vera Farmiga within THE CONJURING universe as Empire is reporting that the younger Farmiga has joined the cast of Corin Hardy's CONJURING spin-off, THE NUN.

But get this, it is being reported that the plot follows "a priest named Father Burke (played by Demian Bichir) who is sent to Rome to investigate the mysterious death of a nun" and it turns out that Taissa Farmiga will be playing said dead nun.

So does that mean is will be playing THE nun in THE NUN?

Could be… In which case she will be playing the character that eventually goes on to scare her sister's character in THE CONJURING 2. Does that make sense?

While it has not been confirmed she will be playing THE nun, I can only hope that's where the filmmakers are heading with this go-around. Sure it may be a tad bit gimmicky, but Taissa Farmiga isn't exactly a newcomer to horror. She has, after all, starred in AMERICAN HORROR STORY (Murder House, Coven, and a brief role in ROANOKE) and she also starred in the underrated THE FINAL GIRLS.

Personally, I hope is she playing THE NUN.

THE NUN hits theaters on Friday, July 13th.
