Skarsgard stars as Roman Godfrey, the troubled heir to the wealthy Godfrey estate. The cast also includes Famke Janssen as Olivia Godfrey, the head of the sinister Godfrey Institute, and Dougray Scott as Norman Godfrey, a psychiatrist at Hemlock Acres Hospital. The show also stars Landon Liboiron, Penelope Mitchell and Freya Tingley.

Thankfully, Skarsgård did make the decision to come back, and we'll see him back in his terrifying makeup later this month... but series co-creator Andy Muschietti has revealed that getting him to come back definitely wasn't the simplest aspect of the production.
