While it could sound like an American attempt to remake Derry Girls (perish the thought!), the show that Warner Bros. TV and HBO Max have in the works right now called Welcome To Derry is actually a prequel to the two Andy Muschietti-directed It horror movies.
Given the success of the Stephen King adaptations, it's perhaps not all that shocking that the company would look to keep the Pennywise train chugging along.
Little is known about the story – even the title might change on the way to a potential series order – but it'll reportedly kick off in the 1960s and explore events before the late 1980s setting of the first movie.
And while it's always a little dangerous to peel back such layers, it'll also explore the origins of demon/alien creature Pennywise.
Muschietti and his producing partner/sister Barbara worked on the concept for the series with Jason Fuchs (who crafted the story for Wonder Woman and did some uncredited script polishing on It Chapter Two while also playing a small role).
A writers room for the series is now open and we have visions of Fuchs hiring Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgard to lure potential hires in with the promise of a special red balloon... But hopefully it was just regular interviews.
Given the early stage for this one, there's no word on when it'll show up on HBO Max, and like the planned TV spin-offs for The Batman, it could evolve on its path to screens.
