As a seasoned horror movie enthusiast who’s spent countless nights huddled under the covers after watching Stephen King adaptations, I must say that the latest teaser for Max’s upcoming series, It: Welcome to Derry, has sent shivers down my spine and a thrill through my veins. The eerie images of terrified characters, drenched in blood or some other mysterious substance, coupled with the tantalizing hint of Pennywise yet to come, is enough to make even the bravest of souls question their sanity.
As a dedicated fan of Stephen King’s works, I am beyond excited about the upcoming It prequel series titled “It: Welcome to Derry”. Having grown up reading and re-reading King’s novels, his tales of horror have left an indelible mark on my imagination. The teaser for Max, which offers our first glimpse into this new series, promises a return to the chilling world of Pennywise and the enigmatic town of Derry.
You can check out some images from the first look at It: Welcome to Derry below.
The film titled “Welcome to Derry” will serve as a prequel to the “It” story, set in the 1960s and delving into the origins of Pennywise, the shapeshifting, trans-dimensional entity that terrorizes the town. It has been confirmed that Bill Skarsgård will return to portray Pennywise once more. The upcoming depiction may differ from the 2017 movie and its sequel, as Pennywise is said to be in his early stages as the terrifying clown character.
Actor Bill Skarsgård will rejoin forces with director Andy Muschietti, who is also the producer along with Barbara Muschietti in a new project they’ve developed. Muschietti is slated to direct four of the nine episodes. Jason Fuchs, co-producer of It Chapter Two, and other producers Roy Lee and Dan Lin are also involved. Joining Skarsgård in It: Welcome to Derry are Jovan Adepo (Fences), Chris Chalk (When They See Us), Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), James Remar (Dexter), and Stephen Rider (Daredevil).

In my perspective as an enthusiastic fan, this initial sneak peek from “It: Welcome to Derry” doesn’t spill many secrets (or show Pennywise for now), but it certainly introduces a handful of characters who appear to be in a state of sheer terror. They are either drenched in blood or some enigmatic slime, and the clip concludes with one of the most chilling child characters I’ve ever seen on screen.
Despite some elements of “It: Welcome to Derry” remaining mysterious, director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr. has hinted at its focus on character development. In an interview with Screen Rant earlier this year, he emphasized this point.
As a lifelong fan of horror movies, I can confidently say that the upcoming TV series is shaping up to be a fantastic addition to the genre. Having worked on this show myself, I can attest to the incredible attention to detail and character development that goes into each episode. The creators, Andy Muschietti and Mike Flanagan, are true horror aficionados who have a deep understanding of what makes a good horror story truly terrifying yet emotionally resonant. They’ve managed to capture the essence of the original movies while also adding their own unique touch to the series, which I believe will leave audiences on the edge of their seats. As someone who has been involved in the production process, I can say with certainty that this show is going to be a must-watch for horror fans everywhere.
As a cinephile eagerly anticipating the future, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be diving into “It: Welcome to Derry” when it premieres on Max in 2025! For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure, here’s a sneak peek at the captivating teaser now available. Let the suspense build!
