Official Teaser Trailer for ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ Will Release Tomorrow!
HBO Max has taken to social media this morning to announce that the official teaser trailer for IT spinoff series “Welcome to Derry” will be unleashed tomorrow, May 20.
While you wait, check out a short teaser for the teaser below.
The nine episode series will serve as a prequel to Stephen King’s horror classic.
Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs are leading the upcoming Pennywise prequel project from Warner Bros. Television. The plan? A three-season horror story.
“Welcome to Derry” will kick off its story in 1962 in the time leading up to the events of It: Chapter One (2017). From there, the planned second and third seasons will jump back in time and take place in their own distinct decades. The series is based on Mike Hanlon’s interludes from King’s book, which document “catastrophic events” from Derry, Maine’s past.
And when bad shit happens in Derry, well, Pennywise is never far behind…
If the first season of “Welcome to Derry” ends up being a hit for Max, the second season would jump back in time to 1935, while the planned third season would take place in 1908.
Look for “Welcome to Derry” on HBO as well as on HBO Max later this year.
And yes, the series will feature Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Clown!

Ralph Ineson and Corey Stoll Join ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Spinoff Series Starring Wyatt Russell
The small screen MonsterVerse is expanding with a “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series centered on Lee Shaw (Wyatt Russell), and Deadline brings us the latest casting news.
Corey Stoll (Imperfect Women, Billions), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The Fantastic Four: First Steps), and Nyasha Hatendi (Agatha Christie’s The Seven Dials, Casual) have signed on.
Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) also star.
Originally announced back in December, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the untitled spinoff series.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Wyatt Russell told Collider earlier this year, “you’ve got absolutely no fucking clue what to expect. I think people are going to expect one thing and be like, ‘Holy shit, this is not what I expected.’ It’ll go deeper into Lee’s experience after he came up, and being sort of put on ice, in 1982, and then what happens after that, and why he’s needed and the mission he goes on.”
