The Conjuring’s next Bridgeport story starts production outside Connecticut

Casting calls and production reporting connected the working title Bridgeport to The Conjuring: First Communion, a prequel about younger versions of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Both real-life figures were born in Bridgeport, giving Connecticut a direct story connection to the next installment.

The reported shoot itself is centered in Schenectady and other New York counties rather than Connecticut. That distinction matters: a story can carry Connecticut’s identity worldwide while the production jobs, vendors, lodging, permits, and location spend land somewhere else.

The project is scheduled for a September 2027 release. Producers and readers should follow the studio and production sources for official title, schedule, and release updates.
