HBO Max orders ‘It’ prequel series ‘Welcome to Derry’

HBO Max has announced that an It prequel series, tentatively titled Welcome to Derry, is in the works. While the creative details on the series are scarce, it’s known that the series will be a prequel to It films which were based on Stephen King’s famous horror novel It. In a statement released by the makers, Muschiettis said, “As teenagers, we took turns reading chapters of Stephen King’s It until the thick paperback fell to pieces. We can’t wait to share the depths of Steve’s novel, in all its heart, humour, humanity and horror.” “I’m excited that the story of Derry, Maine’s most haunted city, is continuing, and I’m glad Andy Muschietti is going to be overseeing the frightening festivities, along with a brain trust including his talented sister, Barbara,” King said.
