In an interview for SyFy, Johnson-McGoldrick explained: The writers of the series are keen to keep the spirit of the franchise going by using the horror elements of the story as a device to explore the turmoil in Jessica’s life. The true strength of the the Conjuring Universe lies in something often lacking in the horror genre: character-driven storytelling. Her stalker manifests in ways worse than she can imagine as she discovers the horrors of the evil that lurks in the shadows. Much worse, though, is the inescapable feeling that she’s being watched. The Conjuring: The Lover will follow Jessica, a college freshman reeling from poor grades and a regrettable romantic encounter.
