Set in 1962, It: Welcome to Derry is the chilling prequel to Stephen King’s iconic It universe. The series explores how Derry’s curse truly began and how Pennywise the Dancing Clown first rose to power.

The story starts with a couple moving into what seems like a quiet town—only for a child to mysteriously vanish. From there, things spiral fast. Strange events, supernatural horrors, and growing fear pull children and townspeople into a nightmare that slowly reveals how evil first seeped into Derry.
