All About It: Welcome to Derry

  • The It prequel rumor started around March 2022 with media outlet The Ankler. Since it’s a prequel, most likely the plot would revolve around the beginning of Pennywise the Clown AKA It.
  • Apart from It’s story, we may also see how the town of Derry succumbed to numerous years of curse. Now, the production team received a green light for It: Welcome to Derry.
  • Also, aside from the origin of Pennywise, this It prequel expands the It’s universe based on Stephen King’s ‘It’ novel. Furthermore, Andy Muschietti (’It’ and ‘It: Chapter Two’) stays as one of the directors in the prequel, so better watch out!
  • We know you’ll ask about the release date. Unfortunately, no release window yet for this It prequel. We may see the production start filming soon, so maybe a year or two in the making would be the safest release window as of now.

Where to watch the It prequel?

Where have you been eyeing to see the It prequel? A cinema release may be improbable, but if the producers can drop it on big screens, why not? But certainly, the upcoming prequel can be watched on your TV screens.

  • HBO MAX takes everyone for the horror fans as they officially welcomed the It franchise earlier. Welcome to Derry remains the working title of the prequel, so to their liking, we can expect it to change if ever.

  • Not only that, but if you think you’ll find yourself sitting for a two-hour film, you’re wrong. The prequel comes in a full series order, perfect for binge-watchers!
  • The number of episodes has yet to be announced, but maybe we can expect five or more. In their media release, it mentions ‘multiple episodes’, so it’s up for you to think about it for a while. This series could be another rollercoaster for the viewers, it scares, makes you laugh, and probably cry too, but mostly frightens you.

Will it come to other streaming platforms?

Most probably, for the time being, Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, or other platforms has no chance to license this. Well, we can say that for now as it looks like it’s an HBO MAX exclusive, but maybe a chance for the other streaming platforms in the future.

  • For now, make sure you have your HBO MAX subscription when Welcome to Derry drops. You wouldn’t want to miss the red balloons scattered everywhere, right?

Cast and crew

Significantly, while the announcement just dropped, the cast should be unveiled soon. As of this writing, there is no news if any cast from both movies would be coming back to Derry, Maine. However, we hope it would be safe to assume that Pennywise the Clown portrayed by Bill Skarsgard makes a comeback.

  • The behind-the-camera production consists of known names like Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs. Along with Fuchs, Brsd Caleb Cane supports as co-showrunners of the prequel. Moreover, the four serve as the executive producers of Welcome to Derry as well.
  • HBO MAX and Warner Bros. Television to produce the series. More executive producers include Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin, respectively.

Are you ready to see those red balloons once again in the small town of Derry? It prequel Welcome to Derry comes soon on HBO MAX, penny(wise) for your thoughts?
