Creators: Jason Fuchs, Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti
Stars: Joshua Odjick, Bill SkarsgårdM, ikkal Karim Fidler
The first episode is set to premiere on Oct. 26 on HBO Max.
The three-season plan for It: Welcome to Derry is to explore different time periods before the events of the 2017 film, with each season taking place in a different era. Season one is set in 1962, season two in 1935, and season three in 1908. The series will delve into earlier instances of Pennywise’s activity, mirroring how Mike Hanlon discovered these past events in the book.
I might potentially try to watch this. That was always a favorite character of mine growing up. Everyone is scared of clowns. I think they’re kind of cool!
I never used to be scared of clowns until I saw the original IT. After that, that was it for me for clowns.
I do feel that the original IT and the clown played by Tim Curry is the scariest.
This Pennywise guy is at it again. I thought we had finished that clown thing. But I won’t lie, the idea of showing how everything started sounds mad and interesting. I like when horror stories dig into history.
I still haven’t recovered from the last movie. That clown was too wicked. But I kinda like this prequel idea. Seeing how the evil started before 1989 gives the whole story a new dimension. HBO is usually good with production quality, so I have hope in the movie a little.
Is that the 1989 movie that you have not recovered from? I was so scared after watching the original, I dared not go to the bathroom on my own for fear he was in the drains! It sure is a terrifying movie.
As much as I have a huge fear of IT, after watching the first film from 1989, this is a series I would be keen to watch because it is set in the same time frame as the original movie.
Nothing will ever beat Tim Curry as IT, The Clown, though!
