The sequel to the new adaptation of Stephen King's IT has allegedly already begun principal photography. It would make sense that WB would want the sequel out one year after the first film's release.
Wouldn't be surprised if the sequel will be titled as IT Returns lol
The producers stated some time ago that a sequel wouldn't be in production until after the release of Part I. Also, this sentiment was confirmed once again just recently by one of the producers.
“We are doing that. We’ll probably have a script for the second part in January. Ideally, we would start prep in March. Part one is only about the kids. Part two is about these characters 30 years later as adults, with flashbacks to 1989 when they were kids.”

“We are locked and loaded and ready to jump in the minute they say ‘go.’ The script is not done, but the script is being worked on. Obviously, all of the filmmakers are chomping at the bit to get started, and we have a very exciting shape, and Gary’s working away. I feel somewhat optimistic that we’ll get to make it, but there’s been no official decision.”
This is not just a thing anymore, but a major future blockbuster for WB. They need to find some good established actors. And Amy Adams please. I mean who else?
