Although the 2026 TV schedule and lineup of movie releases aren’t shaping out to be nearly as big for Stephen King fans as last year’s offerings were, it’s almost a pop culture commandment at this point that at least one adaptation of the King of Horror’s works must be happening at all times. Indeed, several upcoming Stephen King projects are in various stages, and the one I’d argue fans are most invested in is the second season of HBO’s frightfest IT: Welcome to Derry, which has yet to receive an official renewal.
Despite the lack of network announcements, the Derry creative team has been bullish about the prequel horror’s future, with co-creator Andy Muschietti having already revealed his three-season plan to go deeper into IT’s history. Conversations ramped up again in March, as the direction addressed his plan to make an IT feature supercut, and now co-showrunner Brad Caleb Kane has offered what could be our biggest clue yet that Season 2 is absolutely in the works.
