Muschiettis Reaffirm Plans for Extended 'It' Supercut, Prioritize 'Welcome to Derry' Season 2

The supercut’s timing hinges on studio backing plus the team’s Season 2 duties.

Overview

  • The filmmakers, in a Wednesday SlashFilm interview cited by Deadline and The A.V. Club, said they still plan a single extended cut that combines their two It films.
  • Andy Muschietti said the cut would run past six hours and add deleted material with new scenes shot to bridge story threads.
  • They cited time and logistics as the holdup, noting they need Warner Bros. permission and money and that they are now focused on Welcome to Derry Season 2.
  • HBO chief Casey Bloys said the series is not in limbo, reported a 6.5 million U.S. three‑day audience for Season 1, and said the Muschiettis are working on ideas for another season.
  • No release plan exists yet for the supercut, though the films’ near $1 billion box office and the show’s strong start make further It projects commercially attractive.
