Andy Muschietti told the radio show Radio TU that HBO is eager to continue Welcome to Derry and start production on the second season as soon as possible.
Muschietti also said he sees three seasons. The first season takes place in 1962, with a second season in 1935 and the third in 1908. Yes, 27 years apart.
Bill Skarsgård talks about being back as Pennywise again in Welcome to Derry. Fast forward to 24:20 to hear what he has to say.
It was fun. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would actually. And there are parts of it where we got to explore sides of old Pennywise that we haven’t seen and that’s fun.
