We’ve been seeing Warner Brothers movies come to Netflix five years after their theatrical dates and that continues today with the release of the 2017 hit movie adapting the Stephen King novel, It.
The movie sees Bill Skarsgård play the chilling role of Pennywise and also features a familiar face if you’re a fan of Stranger Things. The movie sees kids taking the investigation into a killer clown into their own hands after numerous kidnappings.
It would later go on to get a sequel which should be on Netflix in a few years going by current trends.

Based on the manga that was released over 30 years ago, this new Netflix adaptation comes after a number of major adaptations over the years and early reviews says it may be the best yet.
Here’s the official rundown of what you can expect if you do decide to give the new anime series consisting of 6 episodes a whirl:
“An ancient civilization’s relics on Earth hold dangerous powers — it’s up to ARCAM Corporation’s Spriggan agents to keep them out of the wrong hands.”
Alchemy of Souls (Season 1 – New Episodes Weekly)
