As horror fans eagerly await the next chapter in Pennywise’s (Bill Skarsgård) horrifying reign of terror, “It: Welcome to Derry” co-creator Andy Muschietti has shared some details on the current status of Season 2.

“We’re very excited, we’re in the writers’ room right now,” Muschietti confirms to Variety.

The new season will take place in 1935, centering around one of the interludes in Stephen King’s “It” novel — the Bradley Gang Massacre. As recalled in the book, a group of outlaws hides out in the town of Derry while fleeing the FBI, robbing and murdering store owners and causing all-around chaos. It takes place 27 years before the first season of “It: Welcome to Derry,” which follows the mystery surrounding a young boy gone missing amidst a Cold War military plot.
