It, the horror film directed by Andy Muschietti, lands on Netflix on October 15, 2026. After a cinema release in 2017, this adaptation of Stephen King’s novel brings together Jaeden Martell, Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis, and Bill Skarsgård in the role of Pennywise.
In Derry, Maine, young Georgie Denbrough goes missing after meeting a clown in the sewers. His brother Bill refuses to give up the search and teams up with his friends, a group of marginalized kids who call themselves the Losers' Club.
Each of the children is soon confronted by manifestations tied to their deepest fears. They learn that a shapeshifting creature, often masquerading as the clown Pennywise, returns every 27 years to prey on Derry’s youngest residents.
The film adapts the part of the novel that follows the protagonists’ childhood, relocated to the late 1980s. Their return to Derry as adults is told in It: Chapter Two.
Andy Muschietti directs the screenplay by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman. Bill Skarsgård steps into the role of Pennywise, succeeding Tim Curry who portrayed the character in the 1990 TV miniseries.
