HBO’s long-awaited IT prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry finally debuts tonight in a suitably timed slot just ahead of Halloween week.
The series kicks off in Derry Main where four months after their classmate’s sudden disappearance, Teddy, Phil, Lilly, and Ronnie vow to figure out why so many kids have gone missing in Derry — and why they’ve each been experiencing strange phenomena.
Meanwhile, Major Leroy Hanlon arrives at Derry Air Force Base, where he navigates a chilly reception from some of his fellow airmen.
The series stars Jovan Adepo, Taylour Paige, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgård, who reprises his role as Pennywise the Clown for the prequel.
Produced by HBO and Warner Bros. Television, developed for television by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, the series is based on the novel IT by Stephen King.
The Pilot episode of IT: Welcome to Derry debuts Sunday, October 26 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
New episodes of the eight-episode season will debut weekly leading up to the season finale on Sunday, December 14.
