"Go back to where IT all began..." HBO Max has unveiled the teaser trailer for IT: Welcome to Derry, a new horror spin-off series based on the two IT movies from 2017 & 2019. This has been in development for years, finally ready for release later in 2025. Set for the fall sometime - HBO hasn't confirmed a final release date yet, only saying that Max will change back to HBO Max in the summer, then this will release on HBO Max in autumn. This prequel series about Pennywise the Clown is set in the 1960s, leading up to the events of the first movie. The director of the movies, Andy Muschietti, developed this series with his sister, Barbara Muschietti. IT: Welcome to Derry features Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise. This is more of a teaser with only a few glimpses of footage, and one shot of Pennywise at the end, even though we've already seen him plenty in the two horror films before. Will it be worth the wait? Up to you to decide. // Continue Reading ›
