IT: Welcome To Derry” is set in the eerie world of IT, expanding the story before the Losers’ Club ever stepped foot in the sewers.

Developed by the visionary team behind the IT films, this new HBO original series promises to peel back the bloody layers of Derry’s cursed past—and the origin of evil itself.

The teaser alone delivers spine-tingling tension, unnerving imagery, and a return to the sinister atmosphere fans of Stephen King’s universe can’t get enough of.

If you thought the clown was terrifying before… just wait until you see where he came from.
