That creepy clown from your nightmares is BACK — and this time, he’s got a prequel.
Yep, the first trailer for ‘It: Welcome to Derry’ just dropped like a cursed mixtape from the sewer. This ain’t a sequel. This ain’t a reboot. This is a straight-up origin story for the murdery circus reject we all know and scream at — Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Spoiler alert: he’s still not invited to the cookout.
Set in the gloriously terrifying world of Stephen King’s IT universe (aka the place where childhoods go to die), this HBO Max series is basically a trip down memory lane — except the lane is filled with fog, fear, and probably a few possessed tricycles.
The show dives deeper into the cursed town of Derry — a place where nothing good ever happens and yet people keep moving there for some reason?? It expands on the cinematic nightmares Andy Muschietti served us with It and It Chapter Two, except this time… no one is safe. Not even your WiFi connection.
The cast? STACKED. We’ve got Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and a bunch of other brave souls who clearly didn’t read the Yelp reviews for Derry. Zero stars. Too much clown.
While there’s no official release date yet (rude!), the show is expected to hit HBO Max this fall — just in time to ruin Halloween and remind you to NEVER trust anyone offering you a balloon in a storm drain.
Check out the trailer below… if you dare.
(Or if you just enjoy quality clown-based content.)
