A highly anticipated Stephen King adaptation for TV is in the works, and fans are eagerly awaiting the spinoff series “Welcome to Derry.” This series will explore an earlier chapter from the world of Andy Muschietti’s “IT” films, promising to deliver the same dark and deadly storyline. A new video has offered a glimpse into this upcoming series, as well as other creative projects from HBO and Max.
While it’s not a full trailer, the teaser effectively captures the chilling essence of this classic horror setting. The brief footage features blood, terrified young cast members, and the iconic red balloon, accompanied by Pennywise’s eerie laughter. Fans can catch a glimpse of this King-inspired content at the 1:04 mark in the preview trailer.
The new teaser footage for “IT: Welcome to Derry” gives us our first glimpse of Chris Chalk’s character, who appears to be a night watchman or security guard making a disturbing discovery in a sewer setting. The 1950s setting comes with some ominous implications hinted at by the “Legion of White Decency” sign attached to Derry’s billboard, adding another layer of threat to the story. The teaser also focuses on the town’s younger residents in distressing situations, including being covered in blood and a mysterious shiny goo. The footage leaves us eagerly anticipating the return of Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise and how he will torment the children of Derry once again. Even though we don’t get a full shot of Pennywise in the teaser, his presence is felt through the familiar red balloon and chilling laughter.
HBO recently teased the upcoming horror TV show “IT: Welcome to Pennywise” with a standalone first-look clip on Max’s X page. The clip showcases two extra shots that aren’t in the full preview. The series, based on Stephen King’s work, is set in the fictional town of Derry, not America. The chilling clip features a slime-covered kid and various youths rushing at an exit door, hinting at the suspense and horror to come. Fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere date of “IT: Welcome to Pennywise” on HBO. Stay tuned for updates and check out the rest of the 2024 TV schedule.
