Fans hoping Stephen King might someday return to the world of Pennywise may want to lower their expectations. During a fan Q&A, Stephen King openly said he has no plans to write a sequel or continuation to IT. According to King, the idea of going back to Pennywise feels exhausting. Bill Skarsgård took over the role of Pennywise, bringing a darker and more unsettling version of the character to the screen. While King has stepped away from Pennywise, the actors tied to the character continue to stay busy.
