It: Welcome to Derry expands the mythology behind Pennywise, digging into the disturbing roots of the malevolent entity that terrorized Derry in the films.

“They’re really relevant to the plot and really surprising. And there are so many incredible, horrific, and tense sequences throughout this series. I think people watching are just going to be really terrified and really shocked. I’m super excited for everyone to see all the work that we put into it.”
Lawler huinted at a deeper connection between the prequel and the larger It franchise, saying: “I’m excited for people to see the ways that the last few episodes of the series go further into the origins of the entity and connect to both the movies more deeply.”
Christine also shared how the series ties into Stephen King’s source material, saying: “The last episodes dive into the origin story, and they get into the books and the movies. So, just stay tuned for everything to come.”
