While Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Jack Dylan Grazer, Chosen Jacob and Wyatt Oleff are recurring back as the younger Losers.
Some new characters will join the sequel as well. Jess Weixler will play Bill’s wife, Audra. Will Beinbrink also joined the movie as Tom, Beverly’s abusive husband. The sequel would also feature a hate crime scene from the King’s novel. The scene will include characters Adrian Mellon and Don Hagarty played by Xavier Dolan and Taylor Frey respectively.

What Will Happen In The Upcoming Sequel?

The second chapter will see The Losers Club called back to Derry, Maine as adults. The sequel is set 27 years after the events of the original film. However, the movie timeline will move back and forth between 1985 and the present. The Losers Club will be forced to tackle with Pennywise once again.
Furthermore, the younger team of children will play a vital role in bringing down Pennywise. Their memory will play the key factor for it. Since the King’s horror world drafted back in 1986, the writers also made some alterations, to present the movie set of the 21st century.
The first look at the CinemaCon also left the audience in suspense. The teaser featured Beverly returning to Derry to her old apartment. But instead of her father, an unknown woman answers the door. She tells Beverly about the death of his father. After some weird talks, the woman utters a strange statement, “No one who dies in Derry ever really dies.” which seems pretty dense and dope there.
After that Bev looks at some old portraits on the wall. The old lady snaps out from the background supernaturally, peeks at what Bev is doing and then comes back to the kitchen, so quick. Again after some strange, creepy talks, the old lady starts making a horrifying sound, feels like the old lady herself is the crazy clown, Pennywise. This was just the trailer, the whole movie is yet to premiere, which will be much scarier.
