It Chapter 2 streaming netflix success

The beloved Stephen King adaptation, It: Chapter Two, recently earned a spot on Netflix's Top 10, proving that there's enough interest in the It franchise to merit a third movie. Since King first published the book in 1986, the It franchise has seen quite a bit of adaptation and development. In the 1990s, two television series were made that centered on the horror novel. Decades later, in 2017 and 2019, two movie adaptations were released.

There are a lot of ways in which the It franchise could continue. The first two movies covered the events King portrayed in his book, which leaves the film series with the ability to go just about anywhere. It 3 could focus on the Losers Club 27 years after It: Chapter Two. On the other hand, the next It movie could center on the Losers Club's kids. The approach would work very well with the themes of It by continuing to focus on generational trauma and the bonds of friendship.

The main reason why these sequels have rarely worked out is because they aren't adapting King's story anymore. These sequels are not based on books but are original stories. Of course, It 3 would also be an original story, but there's a chance that it could avoid the fate of other King sequels. Within It, there are so many opportunities for new and exciting stories, so extending it into a third movie makes sense.
