IT: Welcome to Derry
From Stephen King and the filmmakers behind the multi-award-winning It films, the prequel series It: Welcome to Derry is set in the 1960s as a group of children set out to investigate a series of disappearances in the town of Derry, Maine.
Black Reel nominee Taylour Paige (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom), Emmy nominee Jovan Adepo (Watchmen), and Chris Chalk (Marcus in Shining Girls and Paul Drake in Perry Mason) co-star, with Critics' Choice Super Awards nominee Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu) reprising his role as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Also among the cast are James Remar (Dexter’s Harry Morgan), Golden Globe winner Madeleine Stowe (Revenge, 12 Monkeys), and YouTube star Rudy Mancuso.
ScreenRant is already predicting the six-part series could overthrow The Last of Us as HBO’s reigning horror series, calling it “2025's Most Exciting Horror Show”, and saying, “It: Welcome to Derry has all the right material to become one of the best Stephen King TV adaptations ever made.”
