IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2 Renewed, Will Cover Bradley Gang Massacre

HBO and Warner Bros. Television have renewed It: Welcome to Derry for a second season, titled It: Welcome to Derry Season 2. Showrunner Brad Caleb Kane will return for the second season, which will be set in 1935 during the Great Depression. Season 2 will focus on the massacre of the Bradley Gang, a group of notorious bank robbers featured in Stephen King's novel It.

The gang, consisting of Al Bradley, George Bradley, Kitty Donahue, Joe Conklin, Cal Conklin, Arthur Malloy, Patrick Caudy, and Marie Hauser, were mentioned in the first season when the US Air Force exhumed their car and corpses during Operation Precept. The gang was also depicted in the animated opening credits sequence and a wall mural in the 2017 film adaptation of It.

Executive producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti expressed their excitement for expanding the world Stephen King created. Sarah Aubrey, Head of HBO Max Original Programming, stated that they are eager to continue the chilling world of Derry and delve deeper into the terror, mystery, and Pennywise lore that fans adore.
