Prepare to learn more about the nightmarish, trans-dimensional evil clown at the center of It.
A prequel series based on the Stephen King novel is in the works at HBO Max, the newsletter The Ankler reports. Tentatively titled Welcome to Derry, the show will take place in the ‘60s and explore the origins of the curse that would haunt the small Maine town for the next 27 years — as well as the origin story of Pennywise the Clown.

Per Variety, Andy Muschietti, who directed the 2017 blockbuster It: Chapter One and its sequel It: Chapter Two, will write and executive-produce the series alongside Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs. Muschietti and Fuchs developed the story for the show.

As a huge fan of King’s novel, I’d love to see the interlude chapters of Derry’s past translated to screen.
