The first teaser for It spin-off series Welcome to Derry is here – and it promises a bloodsoaked frightfest.

The clip, which you can watch above, may be super brief (and Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise is a no-show), but it does well to establish the vibe of the eagerly anticipated TV show through multiple shots of its claret-stained cast screaming atsomethingoff-screen. It was shown as part of a wider trailer, which showcased all that’s “coming to Max”, from The White Lotus season 3 toThe Last of Us season 2.

“This ain’t America, this is Derry,” Jovan Adepo’s character says in a voiceover, before a montage reveals a whole bunch of terrified faces. We’re in for some scares with this one, that’s for sure…

Based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel, It: Welcome to Derry acts as a prequel to Andy Muschietti’sItandIt: Chapter Two. The filmmaker developed the title with his producer-writer sister Barbara and Jason Fuchs. Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige, James Remar, Stephen Rider round out the cast.
