HBO’s IT prequel series Welcome to Derry is renewed for a season 2 of filming in Ontario and another round of the monstrous clown Pennywise ‘s murderous cycles — this time during the Great Depression.
IT and its Pennywise the Dancing Clown persona (Bill Skarsgård).
Welcome to Derry is a show told backwards.
Season one was set in Derry in 1962 at the time of the Black Spot massacre before the timelines of both feature films.
Season 2 will be set 27 years earlier in 1935, telling the story of the Depression era’s Bradley Gang of bank robbers getting entangled with the town and with IT..
Maybe we will get some answers about who built the Neibolt House: and why? And how it became an abandoned house atop Pennywise’s lair in the sewers of Derry?
Does this mean a potential season 3 would go back another 27 years to Derry in 1908, when IT first encountered carnival performer Bob Gray aka Pennywise the Dancing Clown and killed him thinking the clown would make an effective visage for hunting children.
