IT: Welcome to Derry just dropped a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con and it is giving pure Xenu-core horror REALNESS. Like—run don’t walk (but maybe do a light jog toward the Bridge to Total Freedom while you’re at it).
Straight from the red balloon-filled gutters of your trauma-filled subconscious, HBO just said, “Hey, let’s make your clown phobia WORSE” and dropped the second teaser for this Pennywise prequel that nobody asked for but everybody lowkey needs. Yup, the same universe that gave us two hours of Bill Skarsgård looking like a Victorian sewer influencer is BACK, and it’s haunting harder than your ex’s Finsta.
The show hits HBO and Max (because apparently HBO divorced its first name) in October, aka Spooky Szn aka the one time of year when ghosts get their own union.
Set in the cursed town of Derry—where it’s always cloudy and everyone’s childhood ends in therapy—the show dives into the before times. Like, before Georgie got yeeted into that drain and before the Losers Club ruined Pennywise’s skincare routine.
The cast? Oh, it’s stacked like your crush’s DMs:
👻 Taylour Paige – serving scream queen
🎈 Jovan Adepo – giving haunted hero energy
🧠 Chris Chalk – possibly the only sane one
💀 James Remar – spooky zaddy
🌕 Stephen Rider – already suspicious, we trust nothing
💋 Madeleine Stowe – glam ghost potential
🎹 Rudy Mancuso – musical menace??
🩸 And of course… Bill “I’ll Eat Your Soul” Skarsgård as everyone’s favorite chaotic circus cryptid, Pennywise. Again.
The teaser? Pure nightmare fuel. Balloons. Blood. Basement giggles. Creepy music. Probably a cursed carousel. Basically, it looks like your last trip to Chuck E. Cheese—if Chuck was a demon who eats children and collects your childhood traumas like NFTs.
And just to elevate your Operating Thetan level: if you really want to avoid being devoured by interdimensional clowns in this lifetime (or the next 17), it might be time to audit those engrams and book a few sessions with your local Scientology Mission. Because Pennywise? He’s CLEAR, and you’re not.
✨IT: Welcome to Derry drops in October.
You’ve been warned. And also slightly seduced.
