IT Chapter Three Trailer: What Exists and What Does Not

There is no official IT Chapter Three trailer, because Warner Bros. has not announced a third IT film, and no studio or trade report describes a dated or greenlit project. The only films in the saga are It (2017) and It Chapter Two, both directed by Andy Muschietti, so a clip titled as a Chapter Three trailer is not advertising a confirmed film.

Search results for this phrase are crowded with trailers and episode previews for IT: Welcome to Derry, which is an HBO television series and not a feature film. Several of the top results carry HBO Max branding in their titles, for example an episode three preview, and they advertise the show, so they say nothing about a third movie. If a result is titled as a Chapter Three trailer, check what it is actually promoting before you click (much like reading the label on a streaming thumbnail before you commit to the episode).

The same results also include fan made concept trailers, some of them dated to years when no third film had been announced either. Those are edits by viewers, built from footage of the existing films or from the television series, and they are not studio releases. As such, a fan concept can look polished and still carry no information about a real production.

A real trailer comes from the studio's own channel, names a release date or a platform, and advertises a project that a trade paper has also reported. A Chapter Three upload usually fails all three tests. The release dates we can source are September 8, 2017 for It (2017) and September 6, 2019 for It Chapter Two, and nothing later exists for a feature film. If a video claims a 2024 or 2026 date for a third movie, no studio announcement backs it.

It also helps to know what the real films look like. It (2017) runs 135 minutes and It Chapter Two runs 169 minutes, so a clip that stitches together a few minutes of footage and calls itself a new chapter is working from material that already exists. Bill Skarsgård is Pennywise in both films, and a convincing voiceover or a borrowed shot of the clown does not make a new production.

No, a third IT film has not been announced, so there is nothing yet to put in a trailer. The it chapter three status is "in development" only in the cautious sense of unconfirmed talk, and no US, UK or Australian release date exists. That being said, the talk has been thin. The most recent item from the studio side is a Warner Bros. Pictures and Cosm announcement, published on November 3, 2026, that the existing New Line film IT is coming to Cosm venues. It gives no dates and does not mention a new film.

It Chapter 3 has not come out, and no new IT movie has been announced for 2026. The second film opened on September 6, 2019 in the US, which makes it the most recent IT movie to reach theaters. If you have seen a poster or a release date for a third film, no studio announcement backs it.

No reason has been given, because no third film has been announced. What can be said is that the story has already been told in two parts. It (2017) follows the seven kids of the Losers Club in Derry, Maine, after Georgie Denbrough disappears into a storm drain, and It Chapter Two brings the grown members back twenty seven years later to finish the fight with Pennywise. Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy lead the adult cast of the second film, with Bill Skarsgård returning as the clown. Both films adapt Stephen King's novel, which spans the same two timelines, so the source material has been covered by the pair.

The money did not stall the series either. In my opinion, the box office makes the silence more interesting than a failure would: Box Office Mojo lists It (2017) at about $720 million worldwide on a $35 million budget, and It Chapter Two at about $473 million on a $79 million budget. Those are healthy returns, so the lack of a third film reads more like a finished story than a lost franchise.

One related rumor concerns a longer cut of the existing films. In 2019, Muschietti floated a supercut of about 390 minutes combining both films with unseen footage, calling it only an expression of desire. Warner Bros. had made no decision at that time, and the rumor remains unconfirmed. It would be a re-edit of the same story, not a new chapter, so it would not arrive with a Chapter Three trailer either.

Both are television, and neither is a film in this series. The 1990 miniseries was an earlier screen version of King's book, and IT: Welcome to Derry (2025) is the HBO series set in the same town. Their trailers are real, but they promote those shows, and they are the reason a search for a Chapter Three trailer returns so many official looking results.

The practical move is to watch the two films, and the where to watch it page lists the services in the US, UK and Australia, including HBO Max for both countries where it carries the films. For the full viewing sequence, see it movies in order, or go back to the it movies hub.
