The newest Conjuring announcement is not the only HBO Max development that the studio announced Wednesday. The biggest takeaway from the press event was that they are changing the name of HBO Max to simply Max to reflect the HBO Max and Discovery+ merger.

In addition to the Conjuring news and name change, The Big Bang Theory will also be getting a spin-off. No plot details were announced during the presentation. Per Variety, although nothing has been confirmed, “it is believed to be an hour-long series featuring a mostly new cast with potential for known Big Bang stars to appear in guest spots.”

The Big Bang Theory aired on CBS for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019. The show starred Kaley Cuoco (Penny), Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper), Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz), Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler), Kunal Nayyar (Raj Koothrappali) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette Rosten).
