Stephen King’s IT CHAPTER TWO Officially Begins Production

Principal photography has begun on New Line Cinema’s It Chapter Two, director Andy Muschietti’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed and massive worldwide box office hit IT.

Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, It Chapter Two brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film. Bill Skarsgård returns in the seminal role of Pennywise. James McAvoy stars as Bill, Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain as Beverly, Bill Hader as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike, Jay Ryan as Ben, James Ransone as Eddie, and Andy Bean as Stanley.

Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Lieberher as Bill, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley, Sophia Lillis as Beverly, Finn Wolfhard as Richie, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben, Chosen Jacobs as Mike, and Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie.

Muschietti directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman based on the novel by Stephen King. Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin, and Roy Lee are producing the film. Marty Ewing, Seth Grahame-Smith, and David Katzenberg are the executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Checco Varese, Oscar-winning production designer Paul D. Austerberry, editor Jason Ballantine, and Oscar-nominated costume designer Luis Sequeira.

Production will take place in Toronto, Canada, and the film is set to open in theaters September 6, 2019.
