Get ready to go back to where IT all began…
The official trailer for IT: Welcome to Derry has finally arrived. The preview, which can be seen below, shows that evil has arrived in the town of Derry.
The series is set 27 years before the events of the two IT films. Bill Skarsgard will return as Pennywise as other series regulars include Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige, James Remar and Stephen Rider.
“This is a book we love a lot, and we felt that there was still a lot of story to be covered. It’s so rich with characters and events, we thought we would do justice to the book and the fans by going back into this world,” Andy and Barbara Muschietti told Entertainment Weekly. “Specifically, we are telling the stories of the interludes, writings by Mike Hanlon based on his investigation that includes interviews he conducts with the older people in the town. In Welcome to Derry, we touch on the usual themes that were talked about in the movie — friendship, loss, the power of unified belief — but this story focuses also on the use of fear as a weapon, which is one of the things that is also relevant to our times.”
The nine-spisode series will arrive this fall on HBO Max. Keep it locked to Horror News Network for more on IT: Welcome to Derry.
