What to know
Max IT prequel series sees the return of original director Andy Muschietti
Welcome to Derry season 1 is the upcoming season of the Max horror TV series from Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs.
What is the story of Welcome to Derry season 1?
This prequel series to Muschietti's successful IT films, released in 2017 and 2019 and based on Stephen King's celebrated novel, delves into the origins of Derry and the curse that plagues the town. The films follow the close-knit "Losers Club," with Ben (Jeremy Ray Taylor) revealing Derry's history as a beaver trapping camp during the initial film. According to him, all 91 individuals who signed the Derry Township charter mysteriously disappeared during winter, with their abandoned clothes leading to the old well house. Pennywise, the monstrous clown responsible for the curse, resurfaces every 27 years to torment and brutally kill children.
Why was Welcome to Derry delayed?
Originally set to be released around Halloween of 2024, Welcome to Derry was ultimately delayed to the following year due to the dual-WGA and SAG-AFTRA Hollywood strikes in 2023.
