This time it focuses on a young couple sitting in the seats of a movie theater in Derry, Maine. The boys have popcorn and a bloody glass of drink in their hands, while Pennywise's hand rests on the girl's left shoulder.
The poster is accompanied by the phrase “Prepare to consume… or be consumed.”
We share it with you, in its Spanish and English versions, at the end of the note.
The series takes us back to the place where THAT beganlocating its plot in 1962in the period preceding the events of IT: Chapter One (2017).
IT: Welcome to Derryby its title in our market, includes the origin story of Pennywise the Clownas well as the dawn of the 27 year curse that stalks the small town of Maine.
The inspiration is the interludes written by Mike Hanlon in the novel by Stephen Kingwhich document “catastrophic events” from Derry, Maine's past.
The first season consists of 9 episodes. Some of them were directed by Muschietti.
The cast is made up of Skarsgård (IT), Taylour Paige (Zola), Jovan Adepo (Watchmen), Chris Chalk (Perry Mason), James Remar (Oppenheimer), as protagonists, with Madeleine Stowe (Revenge), y Stephen Rider (Daredevil) in a recurring guest role and a regular role, respectively.
The original HBO series has brothers Andy and Bárbara Muschietti as executive producers alongside Jason Fuchs y Brad Caleb Kane as coshowrunners and executive producers. Skarsgård is another of the executive producers.
Fuchs co-produced IT: Chapter Two; Andy directed both the 2017 and 2019 adaptations, while Barbara produced them. The Muschietti brothers, together with Fuchs, developed the story of the series, with Fuchs as the screenwriter. Andy Muschietti directs four of the nine episodes of the first season.
Muschietti announced last January that three seasons of Welcome to Derrywhich will be told in three different times: 1962, 1935 and 1908, respectively in that order.
“Every time [Pennywise] comes out of hibernation, there is a catastrophic event that happens at the beginning of that cycle [el incendio en Black Spot, la masacre de la Banda Bradley, la explosión de Kitchener Ironworks]. We are basing all three seasons of this series on each of these catastrophic events. There’s a reason the story is told backwards.”
Warner Bros. Television is the studio behind the HBO series, while Warner Bros. backed Muschietti's film adaptations, IT: Part One (2017) e IT: Part Two (2019), a huge commercial success with a combined global box office of more than $1 billion. Prior to its arrival on the big screen, the novel IT was adapted for the small screen in 1990, in ABC miniseries format, with Tim Curry playing Pennywise.
The series is will premiere on October 26 on HBO Max. It will also be available on linear streaming on HBO.
