Overview
- Andy Muschietti, speaking at Deadline’s Contenders TV panel on Sunday, said the team is now actively working on Season 2 of It: Welcome to Derry.
- The new season is set in 1935 and centers on the Bradley Gang, a bank‑robber subplot from King’s book that draws on Maine’s real Brady Gang.
- Muschietti said the Great Depression backdrop will change the show’s structure, trading the familiar kids-on-bikes approach for a harsher world of poverty and adult danger.
- He also outlined a longer roadmap by teasing a potential Season 3 built around the Kitchener Iron Works explosion described in the source material.
- HBO has not issued an official renewal or release date, and reports note the creators’ 2027 timing is a prediction rather than a confirmed schedule.
