Hey FilmBuzzr fam! Horror fans, buckle up—this news is massive. Director Andy Muschietti has officially confirmed he’s crafting a huge “supercut” that merges It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019) into one epic, unified story. But it’s not just a simple edit: they’re planning to shoot brand-new extra scenes to connect everything perfectly!
What Exactly Is This Supercut?
Muschietti has dreamed about this since around 2019, but now it’s sounding very real. In a recent Spanish-language interview (during press for HBO’s It: Welcome to Derry, which went viral in mid-January 2026), Andy and his sister/producing partner Barbara Muschietti spilled the beans:
- The supercut combines both films into one seamless narrative with a restructured timeline—more like Stephen King’s novel, blending past (kids) and present (adults) for non-stop tension.
- It’ll include deleted scenes from the originals, plus freshly filmed interstitial footage to bridge gaps. Andy said: “I still have to film some of them… because they are the interstitial fabric between the pieces of the story.”
- We’re looking at a potential 5-6 hour (or longer) marathon cut—perfect for a full Derry horror binge!
Stephen King Is On Board!
The best part? Stephen King himself is supportive. Barbara revealed that just a month ago, King asked Andy: “How’s the supercut going?” Andy replied: “It really is a dream come true to put the two films into a single narrative piece.”
This isn’t It: Chapter Three (no new big sequel yet), but a definitive, ultimate take on the original story—possibly the most book-accurate version yet.
Will It Actually Happen? Studio Interest & Next Steps
Warner Bros/HBO seems intrigued, especially with It: Welcome to Derry boosting the franchise. If the prequel series keeps performing, this supercut could get fast-tracked. We might even see Bill Skarsgård back as Pennywise, plus the Losers’ Club cast (kids and adults) for those new connecting scenes.
No release date yet (theatrical? HBO Max special? Extended Blu-ray?), but Andy confirmed: “A supercut is something that’s coming, and we’ll see how this series does…”
What Do You Think, FilmBuzzr Fam?
- Hyped for a 6-hour Pennywise nightmare marathon? YES or NO?
- Should the new scenes lean more toward kid flashbacks, adult trauma, or extra creepy Pennywise lore?
- Or were you still hoping for a true Chapter 3?
