New Images Preview ‘Welcome to Derry’ Ahead of the Pennywise Prequel’s 2025 Premiere

Max has confirmed this week that “Welcome to Derry” will premiere THIS YEAR, and they’ve also shown off a handful of new images courtesy of a “Coming Soon to Max” preview video.

The nine episode series will serve as a prequel to Stephen King’s horror classic, IT.

Check out the images below along with new teaser art for the series up above.

Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs are leading the upcoming Pennywise prequel project from Warner Bros. Television. The plan? A three-season horror story.

“Welcome to Derry” will kick off its story in 1962 in the time leading up to the events of It: Chapter One (2017). From there, the planned second and third seasons will jump back in time and take place in their own distinct decades. The series is based on Mike Hanlon’s interludes from King’s book, which document “catastrophic events” from Derry, Maine’s past.

And when bad shit happens in Derry, well, Pennywise is never far behind…

If the first season of “Welcome to Derry” ends up being a hit for Max, the second season would jump back in time to 1935, while the planned third season would take place in 1908.

Look for “Welcome to Derry” on HBO as well as on Max later this year.
