‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Season 2 to feature a different Pennywise
‘It: Welcome to Derry’ is moving ahead with a second season, with Brad Caleb Kane now serving as its sole showrunner.
The story shifts from Season 1’s 1962 setting to Derry in 1935, during the Great Depression.
It will focus on the Bradley Gang, bank robbers who stop in town to buy ammunition and encounter horror.
The season draws on a massacre described in Stephen King’s 1986 novel.
Kane says Pennywise will appear in a new way and the season will be bigger than the first.
The show’s timeline moves back 27 years each season to match Pennywise’s appearances in Derry.
Scripts are about halfway written, a production schedule is in place, and Andy Muschietti is casting.
