- Andy Muschietti announced that IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2 will be set in 1935, focusing on the Bradley Gang subplot from Stephen King’s novel.
- Bradley Gang is based on the real‑life Brady Gang, a 1930s bank‑robber crew executed in Bangor, Maine.
- Kitchener Iron Works is slated for a massive Easter‑egg‑hunt explosion in Season 3, killing about a hundred kids.
Why it matters: HBO gets a new 1935 storyline featuring the Bradley Gang, a real‑life gang, and a plot point about a hundred kids killed, which could boost subscriber retention and merch sales.
