Soon it’ll be time to head back to the sewers. It: Welcome to Derry, a television series companion to the events of Stephen King’s It, will arrive HBO Max on October 26, and some key information about the Pennywise prequel show is starting to seep through. Most recently, the trailer for the new series has been revealed (above), giving us a glimpse of the 1962-set horror.
Here’s everything to know about Welcome to Derry, plus episodic images that give a glimpse at what’s to come.
It: Welcome to Derry premieres this October 26 on HBO Max.
Bill Skarsgård will be given free rein to terrorize all the children of town yet again in this series. The actor previously portrayed Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the ubiquitous villain who emerges every 27 years to feed on scared kids, in Andy Muschietti’s adaptation films It and It: Chapter Two.
Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, and Rudy Mancuso also star in the series.
Andy Muschietti is returning to the franchise alongside producing partner Barbara Muschietti and co-producer Jason Fuchs. Muschietti is expected to take the helm for four of the nine planned episodes of the series, including the first episode.
Muschietti revealed that he has a three-season plan, with Season 1 taking place in 1962, Season 2 jumping back to 1935, and Season 3 in 1908.
The logline for It: Welcome to Derry has been revealed by Max to be as follows: “Set in the world of Stephen King’s IT universe, It: Welcome to Derry is based on King’s IT novel and expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films It and It: Chapter Two.”
Welcome to Derry takes place before the events of Stephen King’s It, as presented in the 2017 and 2019 films. The setting will reportedly be the 1960s and will include the origin story of Pennywise, including the horrifying history of the Black Spot. Read more about that in our fall preview right here.
Production on the series first began in Toronto in May 2023, but shooting was suspended as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strikes that summer and fall. This resulted in a delayed premiere date.
Several first-look photos of the series have been revealed (below).
