From Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, the filmmakers behind both IT, and IT Chapter Two, and Jason Fuchs (IT Chapter Two) the series promises to take viewers back to where it all began in Derry, Maine 1962.

The series stars Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgård.
