Andy Muschietti Outlines Three-Season Plan for HBO's 'It: Welcome to Derry'

The prequel series will explore Pennywise's origins through catastrophic events tied to Stephen King's 'It' universe.

Director Andy Muschietti has proposed a three-season structure for 'It: Welcome to Derry,' with each season set in a different historical period: 1962, 1935, and 1908.
The series will delve into the origins of Pennywise and catastrophic events in Derry, such as the Black Spot fire, the Bradley Gang massacre, and the Kitchener Ironworks explosion.
Bill Skarsgård will reprise his role as Pennywise, with a cast that includes Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and others.
The show will expand on the interludes from Stephen King's novel, focusing on Mike Hanlon's research into Pennywise's cyclical appearances every 27 years.
'It: Welcome to Derry' is set to premiere on HBO in 2025, with the first season consisting of nine episodes.
