IT: Welcome to Derry has officially been renewed for a second season following the successful debut of the Stephen King prequel series. The renewal will continue expanding the terrifying history of Derry, Maine, while taking the story even further into the past.

Season 2 will jump back to 1935 during the Great Depression, nearly three decades before the events depicted in the first season, which was primarily set in 1962. The new story will center around the infamous Bradley Gang massacre, an event pulled directly from the history established in King’s original IT novel.

The Bradley Gang were bank robbers who met a particularly gruesome end after arriving in Derry. The event represents another chapter in the town’s long history of violence and is connected to the recurring cycle of evil surrounding Pennywise.

The renewal also comes with a change behind the scenes. Brad Caleb Kane will serve as the sole showrunner for Season 2. Kane previously developed the series alongside Jason Fuchs, with Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti continuing as executive producers.

It: Welcome to Derry [HBO Max]

Welcome to Derry premiered in October 2025 and quickly became one of HBO Max’s biggest original launches. Warner Bros. Discovery previously revealed that the series ranked as the fourth-largest original series debut in HBO Max history.

The series serves as a prequel to Andy Muschietti’s IT and IT Chapter Two, exploring previous cycles of the supernatural entity that terrorizes Derry approximately every 27 years. Bill Skarsgård reprised his role as Pennywise for the series after previously portraying the character in both theatrical films.

The Muschiettis have previously discussed plans for a larger multi-season story that would continue moving backward through Derry’s history, with each season exploring another period connected to Pennywise and the town’s horrific past.

HBO has not yet announced a premiere date for IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2.
