Simon Delaney and Maria Doyle Kennedy have both started filming on The Conjuring 2.

The supernatural thriller is the follow-up to the massively successful original, starring Very Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as demonologists Lorraine and Ed Warren.

In the sequel, the Warrens travel to North London to help a single mother – played by Frances O’Connor – raising four children whose house is plagued by malicious spirits.

The Conjuring made more than $319m worldwide, making it the second highest grossing original horror of all time behind The Exorcist.

The Conjuring 2 – which will co-star Irish stars Delaney and Doyle-Kennedy – is scheduled for worldwide release the week beginning June 10, 2016.
