The sequel to the horror film It is scheduled to release September 6, 2019, announced its makers.
New Line Cinema, an American film production label of Warner Bros, has set the release date for the It sequel. Incidentally, another untitled WB animation film, earlier scheduled to release on June 1, 2018, has been pushed to July 27, 2018, and is now titled Teen Titans Go, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Teen Titans Go is an adaptation of Cartoon Network’s comedic animated series based on the DC Comics team.
It set box office records when it debuted to a whooping $117 million earlier this month. The It sequel will open over the American-Labour Day time period. The follow-up to the Bill Skarsgard-starring horror flick is currently slated to open against an untitled project from Blumhouse Productions.

Bill Skarsgard plays the titular character, the ‘It’, an evil presence which takes the form of bloodthirsty clown Pennywise. The first film also stars Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis, Jaeden Lieberher, Jack Dylan Grazer, Chosen Jacobs, Wyatt Oleff, and Jeremy Ray Taylor as a group of unpopular kids in small-town Maine who battle It.
Muschietti is expected to return to direct the sequel. Gary Dauberman, who co-wrote the first film, will be penning the sequel as well. In adhering to the structure of Stephen King’s original novel, the sequel will pick up the story 27 years after the events of the first film and centre around the same group of characters who return to destroy It for good.
