Stephen King's IT prequel show, Welcome To Derry, has found its showrunners.
HBO Max's IT prequel series has found its co-showrunners. Announced as being in development back in March of this year, the prequel show, Welcome to Derry, is set prior to the events of Andy Muschietti's successful IT duology. The name of the series hints that the show will explore other instances where Pennywise murdered children of the fictional Derry, Maine, taking viewers back to a different time period.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY According to a report from Variety, HBO Max has tapped writers Jason Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane as co-showrunners for the IT prequel series. Fuchs previously worked with Muschietti on IT: Chapter Two, serving as co-producer, and has worked on screenplays for blockbuster films such as Wonder Woman.
How far back into the past Welcome to Derry goes remains to be seen, however IT: Chapter Two opened the door to a prequel series possibly set hundreds of years before the events of the films. IT: Chapter Two sees Mike and Bill learn of the ancient Ritual of Chüd, an attempt by Native Americans who lived in the area and tried to stop Pennywise long before he took on the form of a clown.
Will Pennywise's Origins Be Explored? Another route the series could take is exploring Pennywise's past through either a direct origin story, or a group of people trying to stop him learning more details about his past. While the IT films indicate the entity has been in the town for hundreds of years, the exact length of time remains unknown.
