Meet the Creepy Clown!

Imagine a super old story about a town called Derry. This new show, 'It – Welcome to Derry,' is like a secret peek into what happened before the scary clown, Pennywise, became famous. It's a TV show that tells us how Pennywise first started causing trouble in Derry.

It's like learning the origin story of a super villain, but way spookier! The people who made this show also made the movies you might have seen, so they know all the secrets!

Where Did This Spooky Story Come From?

This show is based on a super famous book called 'It' by a writer named Stephen King. He wrote the book a long, long time ago, in 1986! The people who made the movies and now this show are Andy and Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs.

They loved the book so much they wanted to tell even more of the story. They decided to make a TV show to show us all the creepy things that happened in Derry before the movies even started. It's like a prequel, which means it tells the story that happened first!

Why is This Show So Exciting?

This show is exciting because it shows us Pennywise the clown when he was just starting out! It's like seeing a baby dragon before it breathes fire. We get to see how Pennywise's tricks and scares began in the town of Derry.

The show has lots of new actors playing different characters who will have to face Pennywise. It's a chance to learn more about the mystery of Derry and why it's such a spooky place. Get ready for some jump scares and thrilling adventures!

Who's Making All the Magic (and Scares)?

The people behind 'It – Welcome to Derry' are super talented! Andy and Barbara Muschietti, who worked on the movies, are back to make this show. Jason Fuchs is also helping out.

They even got Bill Skarsgård to come back and play Pennywise again! He's really good at being spooky. They started planning this show a while ago, and they even had to stop filming for a bit because of a big strike.

But now it's finally here for us to watch and be a little bit scared!
