After a record-breaking first season, Warner Bros. Television renewed its popular horror-drama series It: Welcome to Derry for a second season. Warner Bros. Discovery said the HBO Max series will return with a new storyline set decades before the events of the first season.

Based on Stephen King’s novel, It, the eight-episode first season followed a couple who moved to Derry, Maine, with their son in hopes of starting a new life. However, soon after they arrived, a series of horrifying events began to transpire.

The series’ first season made history with its premiere, landing in the top four of HBO Max’s global top premieres.

Season two is coming back, and its creators are excited. Warner Bros. Discovery explained the second season will be set in 1930s Derry, where the horror will be intertwined with violence, crime, and the struggles of the Great Depression. The new setting will allow the series to explore another period of Derry’s troubled history while continuing to build on the dark mythology surrounding the town.

According to the season two tagline, the story will involve the Bradly Gang, a group of robbers. Warner Bros. Discovery hints at the main character and conflict in its logline, which mentions “the Bradley Gang,” a gang of bank robbers that are wiped out in an inconceivable, terrifying event.

Brad Caleb Kane (Tokyo Vice, Warrior) will be the showrunner for the second season. He will work with executive producers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti of Double Dream Productions, who also directed and produced It and It Chapter Two. Their return helps connect the upcoming season to the creative team behind the previous It adaptations.

Kane, Roy Lee (Hokum, Psycho Killer), Dan Lin (Spooked, Lilo & Stitch), Jamie Travis (A Friend of the Family, Yellowjackets), and Dhana Gilbert (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Vinyl) will also serve as executive producers.
