It Welcome to Derry Plot
It: Welcome to Derry is a horror series that takes place before the events of the IT movies. Set in the 1960s, it explores the terrifying history of the small town of Derry, Maine—a place where bad things keep happening, especially to children.
The story dives into how the evil force known as Pennywise the Clown first appeared and began haunting the town. It shows how Derry’s dark secrets have been hidden for years and how the fear has been passed down through generations.
While the IT movies followed the Losers’ Club fighting Pennywise, this series focuses more on the town itself, its creepy past, and the early signs of Pennywise’s evil.
With a mix of new characters and familiar scares, Welcome to Derry builds on Stephen King’s horror universe and gives fans a deeper look into where the nightmare really began.
