On the way from HBO Max is a series titled “Welcome to Derry,” which will serve as a prequel to the two Stephen King movies from Andy Muschietti. Speaking with Variety, HBO Max head of originals Sarah Aubrey has teased a little bit of what we can expect from the upcoming series, while also noting that Muschietti is deeply involved with the show’s development.

“We have been working with Jason Fuchs, Brad Caleb Kane, Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti very closely,” Aubrey tells the outlet. “They’re so deep into this mythology and they have such a firm handle on the storytelling around these characters and also the demented scares that they’re putting into things. Sometimes I’m, like, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Just all the wild ways they think up to terrify us. You’ll be hearing more concretely about that development very soon.”

Aubrey adds, “Andy is very involved in every bit of this, so that is the real recipe for success and for delighting fans.”

Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman, Ice Age: Continental Drift) and Brad Caleb Kane (“Moonhaven,” “Black Sails,” “Fringe”) will serve as co-showrunners for the prequel series.

Variety had reported back in March, “The series will begin in the 1960s in the time leading up to the events of It: Part One, the 2017 film based on the Stephen King horror novel. The story is also said to include the origin story of Pennywise the Clown.

Published in 1986, Stephen King’s massive novel was of course first turned into a mini-series in 1990, with Tim Curry playing the role later played by Bill Skarsgård in the movies.

The tale centers on the town of Derry, Maine, where a group of friends called the Losers’ Club battle Pennywise the killer clown first as kids, and then 27 years later as adults.
