The planned sequel will follow the kids from the original as they become successful adults with no memory of the terror living beneath the town of Derry until IT re-emerges and begins killing again. They all have to come together to finally put an end to Pennywise, but they find that the strength and belief they had as kids might not be enough to save them this time.
