IT: Welcome to Derry is bringing everyone’s favorite killer clown to the small screen later this year.
The second teaser for the upcoming HBO series was unveiled Saturday night at a spooky late night San Diego Comic-Con panel before it was released online Sunday. In it, we see a glimpse at the panic that ensues as a nefarious force begins to creep its way into Derry and children start disappearing.
The teaser primarily focuses on Taylor Paige, who plays a young woman who has just moved to Derry with her husband when things start to go awry in the small town. Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise briefly appears at the end, but his presence is felt throughout. Watch the full teaser above.
Set in the world of Stephen King’s IT universe, Welcome to Derry expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films, which amassed a combined $1.17 billion worldwide.
Developed for television by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, the series will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max in October. Andy Muschietti will also direct multiple episodes of the original series.
The series stars Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgård.
