It’s been 25 years since the first miniseries based on Stephen King’s beloved horror novel, IT, debuted on ABC, and now Pennywise the Clown is returning to the small screen. IT: Welcome to Derry, is the prequel to the miniseries and subsequent films, and scare-seekers can rejoice, because its premiere is finally here.
The series, starring Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige, James Remar, Stephen Rider, and Bill Skarsgård, is set in 1962 in Derry, Maine. When a couple and their son move in right as a young boy disappears, a series of terrible things kick off throughout the town. Little else is known about the 8-episode season, so viewers will have to tune in to discover what is very likely the origin story of the scariest clown the silver screen and small screen alike have ever seen.

IT: Welcome to Derry premieres on October 26, 2025, and is available on Max, HBO’s streaming service.
