IT: WELCOME TO DERRY
First on Showmax | Fridays from 31 October | Horror series
From Stephen King and the filmmakers behind the multi-award-winning IT films, the prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry is set in the 1960s as a group of children set out to investigate a series of disappearances in the town of Derry, Maine.
Black Reel nominee Taylour Paige (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), Emmy nominee Jovan Adepo (Watchmen), and Chris Chalk (Marcus in Shining Girls and Paul Drake in Perry Mason) co-star alongside the child actors, with Critics’ Choice Super Awards nominee Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu) reprising his role as Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
Rotten Tomatoes calls the horror series “the most anticipated show of the month, by far… Stephen King’s IT terrified audiences on the big screen in 2017 and 2019, but the nightmare isn’t over. HBO’s IT: Welcome to Derry dives back into the cursed town with a chilling prequel series that explores how Pennywise’s reign of terror first began… This could be the spooky season’s must-watch event.”
