They joined the circus and left their town. Now they\u2019re down here\u2026 with the clown. The brand new RED BAND trailer for \u201cIT: Welcome to Derry\u201d has arrived, and it\u2019s loaded with terrifying new imagery including Pennywise and his many forms. Give it a watch down below.<\/p>\n

The eight-episode prequel series \u201cIT: Welcome to Derry\u201d premieres Sunday, October 26, at 9pm ET\/PT on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.<\/p>\n

New episodes will debut weekly leading up to the season finale on December 14.<\/p>\n

Serving as an expansion of\u00a0Andy Muschietti\u2019s\u00a0IT\u00a0films based on\u00a0Stephen King\u2018s 1986 novel, the first season is set in 1962. Muschietti himself directs multiple episodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome to Derry\u201d will kick off its story in 1962 in the time leading up to the events of\u00a0It: Chapter One\u00a0(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\u2019s interludes from King\u2019s book, which document \u201ccatastrophic events\u201d from Derry, Maine\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

If the first season of \u201cWelcome to Derry\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
