It Chapter 2 UK release date, cast, trailer, plot, Pennywise return

Come on Georgie, we all float down here!

The first instalment of It was released to box office and critical success upon its release in 2017.

Based on the epic novel by acclaimed horror author Stephen King, the film saw a group of children in the town of Derry, Maine, who have dubbed themselves the Losers Club, come face to face with a terrifying villain in the form of It/Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgard).

The threat of It seemed to be over with at the end of the last film, but we haven't seen the last of Pennywise, as he will make a comeback.

The Losers Club must be ready for an all-new fight against pure evil.

But when can we expect the film to be released in the UK?
