Welcome to Derry, a prequel series to Stephen King's iconic novel and film franchise, is set to premiere on HBO Max this October. Directed by Andy Muschietti and created by the Muschietti siblings and Jason Fuchs, the series expands the universe established by the two IT films and promises to delve deeper into the chilling town of Derry, Maine.
