Vera Farmiga is a bundle of talent who has illuminated both the big and small screens with her incredible performances. From her compelling act opposite George Clooney in ‘Up in the Air,’ in which her emotional depth as an actress is evident, to her spine-chilling portrayal of Lorraine Warren in the blockbuster horror franchise ‘The Conjuring,’ Farmiga’s career is a testimony to her versatility. The Oscar-nominated actress has also impressed audiences with her captivating performances in ‘The Departed,’ ‘Source Code,’ and ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters,’ ‘Bates Motel,’ ‘When They See Us,’ etc.
And just when people thought Farmiga had done it all, she took up the director’s hat and helmed the acclaimed film ‘Higher Ground.’ Looking at the actress’ exceptional filmography, one can’t help but wonder what fascinating projects she is going to be a part of next. So here is the list of all Vera Farmiga’s upcoming films and TV shows.
1. The Corps (TBA)
‘The Corps’ is an upcoming 10-episode queer military drama created by Andy Parker for Netflix and Sony Pictures Television. It is based on former US Marine Greg Cope White’s memoir ‘The Pink Marine.’ The film, set in 1990, will explore the experiences of bullied gay teen Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer) and his straight best friend Ray (Liam Oh) after they join the Marine Corps boot camp. While Cameron hopes to become a “man,” Ray has the pressure of becoming the best, thanks to his strict Marine father. Vera Farmiga plays the role of Cameron’s narcissistic mother, Barbara. We also have Max Parker, who plays Sgt. Sullivan. Sullivan has been struggling with his past, and after seeing himself in Cameron, he decides to help him cope with what’s to come the young man’s way. The rest of the cast includes Ana Ayora, Nicholas Logan, Cedrick Cooper, Brandon Tyler Moore, Joy Osmanski, and Bill Kelly.

More updates about the release are awaited.
2. The Leader (TBA)
Farmiga is all set to star as Heaven’s Gate cult leader Bonnie Nettles in ‘The Leader.’ The biographical film showcases the gruesome true story of the thirty-nine members of the cult who committed mass suicide in 1997, believing that they would ascend to heaven. The real-life Nettles served as an interpreter of signs and the mystic of the cult, and she died in 1985, twelve years before the mass murders. The film is written and directed by Michael J. Gallagher, who is known for directing the films ‘Funny Story’ and ‘The Thinning’ and the multiple episodes of ‘PBC’ and ‘The Real Bros of Simi Valley.’ ‘The Leader’ also stars Tim Blake Nelson as the cult’s co-founder, Marshall Applewhite.

James Wan and Peter Safran are returning as producers, but the director of the film has not been announced yet.
The movie might be the last film in the franchise, as James Wan earlier hinted that they are planning to wrap up the storyline. “Yeah, we are working on it right now. With the Conjuring films, we are very precious about [them]. And so we kind of want to just take our time to make sure we get it right and to make sure the emotion of the Warren stories that we want to tell, and moving into, and potentially wrapping up, we just want to make sure that it’s the right thing, the right story that we’re telling,” the producer said in an interview with Collider. Taissa Farmiga and Victoria Paige Watkins are also cast. The film is currently under pre-production and will reportedly connect with the post-credits scene of ‘The Nun II.’
4. Bad Bloom (TBA)
‘Bad Bloom’ is a horror film that revolves around a family who lives on a remote island in isolation to protect themselves from an unknown monster.

The film was announced in January 2021 with Bryce McGuire as the director. The production was supposed to start later that year; however, the film is still in development, without further updates concerning the production.
