**It: Welcome to Derry** creator Andy Muschietti has shared an exciting update about the upcoming season. In a recent interview with Deadline, the 52-year-old filmmaker revealed that he and his team are currently hard at work on season two of the horror series.
"It's 1935 – we're now working on it, and it's so much fun," Andy told the outlet. "For those of you who have read the books, the Bradley Gang might sound familiar. The Bradley Gang was a gang of bank robbers who, not by accident, but while on their way somewhere, stopped in Derry to buy some ammo. And something horrible happens."
He further elaborated, "The Bradley Gang is based on the Brady Gang, which was a real-life gang of robbers executed in the streets of Bangor, Maine. And now we're not creating an event where the big paroxysm of violence in this case will be the massacre of a Bradley gang."
"There are three major events in Welcome to Derry Season 1… and Season 3 will be the explosion of the Kitchener Iron Works, which is a big explosion during an Easter egg hunt where a hundred kids lost their lives," Andy continued.
"It's always been a bit of a wild ride, so that much I can tell you," he said. "It's fascinating because the thing that's so much fun in this stage of development is that we're facing an era which is the Depression Era, which dramatically changes the setup of things."
"There's no suburban comfort – the trope of kids living in suburbia, riding their bikes, and suddenly one of them disappears is nothing like this. This is 1935. It's a very dire situation. People are very poor. They're struggling to survive, so the setup will be very different," added the filmmaker.
However, the release date of the upcoming season has not been disclosed yet.
