In the novel, they were bank robbers \u201con their way somewhere and they stopped in Derry to buy some ammo,\u201d he explained. Then, predictably, \u201csomething horrible happens,\u201d which audiences get vague references to via <em>Derry\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>season one intro.<\/p>\n<p>The Bradleys were a subplot in the <em>It\u00a0<\/em>novel and based on the Brady Gang, a group of real-life robbers back in the mid-30s. Like the characters who inspired them, the Brady Gang stopped for guns and ammo in Maine and were killed during an FBI ambush. As Muschietti put it, It is \u201calways there [and] fucking around\u201d in Derry, so the Bradleys\u2019 deaths will make the \u201cbig paroxysm of violence\u201d for <em>Welcome to Derry\u00a0<\/em>season two, similar to the Black Spot burning and the movie theater massacre in season one.<\/p>\n<p>With the 1930s setting, Muschietti said the writers\u2019 challenge is sketching out <em>It\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>version of the Great Depression, which \u201cdramatically changes the setup.\u201d Unlike 1962, there\u2019s \u201cno suburban comfort. The trope of the kids that live in suburbia and they ride their bikes and suddenly one of them disappears is nothing like this. 1935 is a very dire situation, and [people are] struggling to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sure to hear more about these challenges and how the team tackled them ahead of\u00a0<em>It: Welcome to Derry\u00a0<\/em>season two hitting HBO Max in the near future.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
