With their memories now fully restored, the group descends into a cavern beneath the sewers, with Mike providing a rock from the Losers' fight with the Bowers Gang as they perform the ritual in the remains of the meteor that brought It to Earth. The Losers then rejoin Bill-who just failed to save a young boy named Dean from being eaten by It-at the Neibolt House, and talk him out of facing It alone. Bowers viciously attacks Eddie at the Losers’ hotel, before attacking Mike at the library Henry nearly kills Mike, but Richie kills him before he has the chance. Meanwhile, Henry Bowers, who was arrested for killing his father, is freed from a mental hospital by It. Ben returns to the town’s high school, while Eddie recovers an inhaler from a pharmacy and is attacked by the Leper.

Richie goes to an abandoned arcade where he finds a game token and encounters Pennywise, who confronts him on his hidden homosexuality. Beverly retrieves Ben’s love letter from her childhood home before being attacked by It in the form of a demonic elderly woman named Mrs. Bill goes to the storm drain where Georgie was killed and recovers his paper sailboat. Mike explains that the ritual requires items from their past to be sacrificed. Mike shows Bill, via a drug-induced vision, that the Native American "Ritual of Chüd" can stop It for good. Meanwhile, It kills a young girl named Victoria at a baseball game after luring her into a trap. Richie and Eddie decide to leave until Beverly reveals that she has had psychic visions of their deaths should they fail to fulfil their oath. At a Chinese restaurant, Mike refreshes the Losers' memories before Pennywise itself reveals the news of Stanley's suicide to them.

All of them return to Derry, except for Stanley, who kills himself out of fear of the creature. Mike Hanlon, the only member of the Losers Club who remained in Derry, calls the other members, Bill Denbrough, Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris to honor the promise they made 27 years earlier to kill Pennywise if he came back. Twenty-seven years after its initial defeat, Pennywise returns to Derry, Maine in 2016, and kills a man named Adrian Mellon by biting his heart out after he and his boyfriend are brutally assaulted in a hate crime by locals after visiting a carnival. Despite this, it was a box office success, grossing over $473 million worldwide against its $79 million production budget. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its acting (particularly that of Skarsgård and Hader), production design, and themes but criticized its long runtime, pacing, tone, and weaker scares compared to those of its predecessor. It Chapter Two premiered in Los Angeles on August 26, 2019, and was theatrically released in North America on September 6, 2019, in 2D, Dolby Cinema and IMAX formats. The film was produced by New Line Cinema, Double Dream, Vertigo Entertainment, and Rideback, and distributed by Warner Bros. Principal photography began on June 19, 2018, at Pinewood Toronto Studios and on locations in and around Port Hope, Oshawa, and Toronto and wrapped on October 31, 2018. By September 2017, New Line Cinema announced that the film would be released in September 2019, with Dauberman writing the script and Muschietti to direct.

Talks for an It sequel began in February 2016. Set in 2016, 27 years after the events of the first film, the story centers on the Losers Club and their relationships as they reunite to destroy It once and for all. It stars Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean, and Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise. A follow-up to It (2017), it is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1986 novel It by Stephen King, primarily covering the second half of the book. It Chapter Two is a 2019 American supernatural horror film directed by Andy Muschietti, with a screenplay by Gary Dauberman.
