It: Welcome to Derry — The Terrifying Return to Stephen King’s Universe
The world of Stephen King’s It is returning once again, this time as a chilling prequel series titled “Welcome to Derry.” Set in the same eerie town that gave birth to Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the series will explore the origins of Derry’s dark history and how the evil that lurks beneath the surface first came to life.
Developed by Andy Muschietti, the director of the hit It films, alongside Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, this series promises to expand the lore behind King’s terrifying universe. Fans can expect a deeper dive into the cycle of horror that has haunted Derry for generations.
Though plot details are kept secret, it’s confirmed that Welcome to Derry will take place decades before the events of the 2017 It movie. The tone will remain faithful to the films, combining psychological horror, mystery, and emotional storytelling.
Production has been underway with HBO Max (now known as Max) behind the project. Welcome to Derry aims to deliver the same haunting atmosphere, spine-chilling visuals, and emotional depth that made It one of the most successful horror franchises in recent memory.
With Pennywise’s sinister presence lurking in the shadows once again, fans are eagerly waiting to return to Derry — where fear never truly dies.
