Brace yourself for a chilling adventure! The highly anticipated TV series, It: Welcome to Derry, is coming to your screens, and it might just keep you up at night.
Originally intended for HBO Max, this thrilling prequel to Warner Bros' adaptation of Stephen King's iconic novel, It, will now also air on HBO. With production underway in Ontario, the show is set to premiere on October 26, and the intense red band trailer has already dropped, leaving fans eager for more.
But here's where it gets intriguing: the series will unfold over three seasons, each delving deeper into the past. Season 1 takes us back to 1962, season 2 to 1935, and season 3 all the way to 1908. Warner Bros is reportedly thrilled with the first season and is keen to fast-track season 2.
Showrunners Brad Caleb Kane and Jason Fuchs, who worked on Tokyo Vice and Wonder Woman respectively, are at the helm, with Andy and Barbara Muschietti, the masterminds behind the It movies, serving as executive producers. The series is a collaborative effort between HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television.
Stephen King himself expressed his enthusiasm, stating, 'I'm excited for Derry's haunting tale to continue.' The Muschiettis added, 'It is a vast narrative that our movies only scratched the surface of. We're thrilled to delve into the depths of King's masterpiece.'
The star-studded cast includes Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and many more, though their character details remain a mystery. The only exception is Pennywise, whose presence is sure to send shivers down spines.
And this is the part most people miss: despite being a Stephen King enthusiast, the author's It has never been a personal favorite. The 1990 miniseries was enjoyable, but the recent movie adaptation left much to be desired. Will It: Welcome to Derry change that perception? Only time will tell.
