Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return to The Conjuring franchise for one final demonic case in The Conjuring: Last Rites.

The pair have played real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren since 2013's The Conjuring. They reprised their roles in the sequels The Conjuring 2 and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Plus, they also appeared in cameos or supporting roles in other Conjuring Universe films, like Annabelle Comes Home and The Nun.

Safe to say that after all this time, Ed and Lorraine have seen enough demonic activity to scare them several lifetimes over. But The Conjuring: Last Rites promises to be their last case, raising the question: After killer dolls and possession, what could possibly have been bad enough to make the Warrens retire?

The Conjuring: Last Rites is based on the Warrens' investigation of the Smurl family, who claimed to have experienced several supernatural incidents in their house in West Pittston, Pennsylvania. The trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites highlights some of these occurrences, including a nightmarish floating doll and a sink filling with blood. But surely it will take more than that to deter the Warrens.

The Conjuring: Last Rites also stars Mia Tomlinson as Ed and Lorraine's daughter Judy, as well as Ben Hardy as Judy's boyfriend Tony. Michael Chaves, who helmed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, is back in the director's chair. James Wan, creator of the franchise, serves as a producer alongside Peter Safran.

The Conjuring: Last Rites hits theaters Sept. 5.
