New IT Show May Include the Biggest Stephen King Character Cut From the Movies

In a conversation with TV Insider, director Andy Muschietti shared that the upcoming series “Welcome to Derry” will delve deeper into the expansive Stephen King universe. He expressed that the show aims to create a sense for viewers that what they already know about the book, stories, and movies is merely the tip of the iceberg, hinting at a more comprehensive cosmic backstory related to Pennywise and Stephen King’s “IT” novel. Furthermore, Muschietti suggested that these narrative elements are intertwined with The Dark Tower, as they both belong to the same vast universe, or “macroverse.” This suggests that Maturin the Turtle might make an appearance in some form on “Welcome to Derry,” which should excite Stephen King fans for the new possibilities it presents.
