‘It’ Director Confirms Stephen King’s Involvement in ‘Welcome to Derry’
Muschietti, who serves as both producer and director for four episodes of the series, discussed “Welcome to Derry” with Radio TU, revealing more about which stories will be explored in the show. Set in 1962, this series is a prequel to Muschietti’s film “It,” taking place 27 years prior to the events shown in the movie (a deviation from the first part of the original story in the book, which unfolds between 1957 and 1958). The storyline follows various townsfolk of Derry as they endure terror at the hands of an evil presence that emerges every 27 years to sustain itself.
