told Variety<\/a> that the writers\u2019 room had opened for Season 2. \u201cThere\u2019s gonna be a lot of that depression-era hustling in the air in our characters. Everybody\u2019s trying to get by and survive the circumstances. They are gonna do crazy things,\u201d Muschietti said. \u201cAnd of course, the social, cultural, horrible things that were happening in the era, too. We\u2019re not going to skip those. [They are the] very center and the heart of our story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tHe also clarified that Season 2 will have a different aesthetic than Season 1.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIn this case, on the surface, Derry is a graveyard almost. It\u2019s a carcass of something because people are depleted, poor, tired, jobless, homeless. The kids don\u2019t have a suburban, comforting life,\u201d Muschietti said. \u201cThey\u2019re in a very different situation. Some of them are orphans or runaways, and so the environment is pretty bleak. But there\u2019s always the aspect of hope that is always there, burning, and it\u2019s what keeps our new group going.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tSeason 1 is set in 1962 in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, and details the town\u2019s residents\u2019 earlier experiences with the evil, shape-shifting clown, Pennywise. Season 2 will do back in time to 1935 and takes place during the Great Depression. Per the logline, the story \u201ccenters on the bloody massacre of the Bradley Gang, a group of bank robbers who stop in Derry to buy ammo and end up facing unimaginable horror.\u201d (The Bradley Gang Massacre is one of the interludes in King\u2019s original novel.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy Halloween, indeed!
