Welcome to Derry Must Explore IT’s Darkest Origin to Redeem the Franchise

Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal of Pennywise is undeniably iconic. He quickly cemented the character – already famous thanks to Tim Curry’s 1990 performance – as a modern horror legend. The upcoming series, IT: Welcome to Derry, offers a chance to delve deeper into the history of Derry and Pennywise’s origins. The trailer suggests the first season will focus on the 1960s, about 27 years before the events of the 2017 film. To fully connect the movies and the new series, the show will eventually need to explore a key event hinted at in the first film.
