After The $1.2 Billion Films, The HBO Max Prequel Series Is Set To Blow Everyone Away
The prequel series 'IT: Welcome to Derry' premieres this fall on HBO Max, featuring the return of the iconic character Pennywise and much more.
Warner Bros. has released a new teaser for the upcoming prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry, set to debut on HBO Max later this year. The series takes place before the events of the successful cinematic adaptations of Stephen King's book.
The story of IT: Welcome to Derry is set in the early 1960s, a time when the terrifying entity Pennywise roams freely through the town, long before the Losers Club confronts him in the 1980s.
The series stars Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, and Rudy Mancuso. Bill Skarsgrd reprises his role as Pennywise, just as he did in the previous films.
The series will consist of nine episodes and was co-developed by Andy Muschietti, who also directed the two films. He will direct four episodes along with producers Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs.
The two films from 2017 and 2019 were well received, grossing an impressive $1.2 billion at the global box office. IT: Welcome to Derry seems poised for success. The prequel premieres in October on HBO Max.
