‘Welcome to Derry’ Official Trailer: Stephen King’s Killer ‘It’ Clown Returns
HBO Max is floating its first official teaser trailer for Welcome to Derry.
The upcoming series is a prequel to the hit It films which adapted Stephen King’s horror masterpiece about a small town in Maine that’s cursed by the presence of a shapeshifting killer clown which returns to murder a slew of children every 27 years.
The trailer (below) introduces a new cast of young characters living in Derry in the 1960s.
The show was developed by It filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti along with Jason Fuchs who serves as co-showrunner with Brad Caleb Kane. Andy Muschietti directed four of the season’s nine episodes.
Bill Skarsgård has returned to play Pennywise the Dancing Clown, a villain that King fans agreed the actor embodied to perfection, after initially turning down the chance to continue the character. In an interview earlier this year, Skarsgård assured the TV version is “hardcore.
