Everything We Know So Far About “IT: Welcome to Derry” Season 2

The nightmare in Derry, Maine, is expanding backward through history. Executive producer and director Andy Muschietti has revealed new details about “IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2.“ He has confirmed that the next chapter of the HBO prequel series will jump back to 1935. Moving beyond the first season’s era, Season 2 will directly explore dark historical events that author Stephen King only briefly touched on in his legendary 1986 novel. “It’s 1935 – we’re now working on it, and it’s so much fun,” Muschietti said. The Bradley Gang Massacre and Great Depression Setting Season 2 will center on one of Derry’s most brutal historical events: the massacre of the Bradley Gang.

The show will craft its own bloody rendition of the gang’s demise as Pennywise influences the townspeople into a violent frenzy. Shifting

Nick Cutter’s Horror Novel ‘The Troop’ To Be Adapted for a Feature Film

After years of lingering in development limbo, Nick Cutter’s stomach-churning 2014 novel The Troop is finally marching toward the big screen. Paramount Primal has officially acquired the rights to adapt the fan-favorite horror book. They have tapped screenwriter Chris Basler to bring the visceral, parasite-laden story to life.
