It: Chapter Two, the horror film directed by Andy Muschietti, lands on Netflix on October 15, 2026. Following its theatrical release in 2019, the sequel brings together Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, and Bill Skarsgård in the role of Pennywise.
Twenty-seven years after confronting the creature, the Losers’ Club members have left Derry and built lives far from town. Only Mike Hanlon stayed behind to monitor any possible return of Pennywise.
When a fresh round of killings hits, Mike reaches out to Bill, Beverly, Richie, Ben, Eddie and Stanley. The group must honor the promise they made in childhood and return to Derry to finally break the cycle of the creature.
The film adapts the portion of Stephen King's novel that focuses on the protagonists’ adult years. Flashbacks also bring back the young actors from the first installment.
James McAvoy stars as Bill Denbrough, Jessica Chastain plays Beverly Marsh, and Bill Hader portrays Richie Tozier. Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis, and Finn Wolfhard reprise their roles in the scenes depicting the Losers’ Club during childhood.
