Invoice Skarsgård will reprise his function as one of many scariest clowns of all time — a powerful achievement, given the general terrifying nature of all clowns — within the upcoming It prequel TV present, Welcome to Derry, named for the city in Maine the place the occasions of the films passed off.
Skarsgård beforehand performed Pennywise the killer clown, within the two-part adaptation of Stephen King’s It, directed by Andy Muschietti. This new sequence, which Muschietti is engaged on, is ready previous to the occasions of the 2 movies, 2017’s It and 2019’s It Chapter Two.

When Max first introduced the sequence, right here was how they described it:
Set on the planet of Stephen King’s “IT” universe, WELCOME TO DERRY (wt) is predicated on King’s “IT” novel and expands the imaginative and prescient established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti within the function movies “IT” and “IT Chapter Two.”
Per Deadline, different members of the Derry forged embrace Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and James Remar.
The It movies had fairly stacked casts, Chapter Two particularly, which starred Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Invoice Hader. So guaranteeing Skarsgård will return as Pennywise takes care of the truth that any It prequel will essentially not embrace any of the beloved characters from the enduring Stephen King novel. However it will possibly — and now it should — have Pennywise, who appears like a clown however is definitely an historical monster who wakes each 27 years to feed on youngsters’s concern. (I’m placing all these “it”s in on objective, by the way in which.)
Whereas Chastain, McAvoy, and Hader’s characters defeated Pennywise in It Chapter Two, there may be seemingly no finish to the tales you possibly can inform about Pennywise going again each 27 years to its prior assaults on the residents of Derry. How a few Pennywise horror story set in Colonial Maine? That sounds type of superior, really.
