Focusing on a group of children called the Losers Club who believe they have got rid of Pennywise forever however when they grow up they realise that he’s back to haunt them one last time.

At the moment there’s no news about when the film will be released but one things for sure, it’s bound to be one of the scariest releases of the year.
