The wait is almost over. Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise is headed back to the screen in the second half of “IT: Welcome to Derry,” and we’ve got an exclusive new image while you wait.
He’s always wondered how you’d taste…
It was 35 years ago this week that Tim Curry first brought Stephen King’s killer clown Pennywise to the small screen, terrorizing an entire generation and living on in their nightmares for decades to come. Bill Skarsgård took over the role in the big screen adaptations of the tale, with “IT: Welcome to Derry” serving as a prequel to those theatrical nightmares.
Check out an exclusive sneak peek at Pennywise’s return below and be sure you don’t miss the next four episodes of “IT: Welcome to Derry” on HBO Max beginning this Sunday night!
You can also preview the back half of the show’s first season by watching the Midseason Trailer below, which promises that the show’s most harrowing nightmares are still to come.
Serving as an expansion of Andy Muschietti’s IT films based on Stephen King‘s 1986 novel, the show’s first season is set in 1962. Muschietti himself directs multiple episodes.
“IT: Welcome to Derry” has kicked 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.
The finale of the first season will premiere on Sunday, December 14.
But first, get ready to return to the house on Neibolt Street on Sunday, November 23…
