Max has unveiled the first look at its upcoming It prequel series Welcome to Derry.
The brief footage teases the town of Derry, our young new protagonists riding through Derry on their bikes, and the discovery of that infamous red balloon. The cast includes Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige, James Remar, Stephen Rider, and Madeleine Stowe. PerVariety, Jason Fuchs wrote the teleplay for episode one, based on a story by him and the Muschietti.
Muschietti shared a behind-the-scenes lookearlier this year, posting a photo of a door that reads “Clint Bowers Chief of Police.” While Clint Bowers appears to be an original character written for the show, Clint is no doubt related to novel and movie antagonist Henry Bowers (who is almost worse than Pennywise if we’re being honest). Since the showis set during the 1960s, almost three decades before the events of It, it’s likely Clint is Henry’s grandfather, and the father of Henry’s police chief father Oscar.
