HBO renewal of IT: Welcome to Derry

Overview

HBO has officially renewed the supernatural horror prequel series ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ for a second season. The renewal follows a successful first season that ranked among the top four series premieres in HBO Max history.

For the upcoming season, Brad Caleb Kane will serve as the sole showrunner, taking over the role from Jason Fuchs, while Andy and Barbara Muschietti remain executive producers. Sarah Aubrey, Head of HBO Max Original Programming, expressed excitement about the opportunity to deepen the mystery and the lore surrounding the character Pennywise.

The new season will shift its timeline to 1935 during the Great Depression, moving away from the 1962 setting of the first season. The plot is expected to focus on the Bradley Gang massacre, involving a group of bank robbers who encounter an evil presence in the town of Derry. While reports have noted the potential return of Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, official cast members and release dates have not been confirmed.
