Bill Skarsgård Promises New Pennywise Mysteries in ‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Not Previously Seen in the Movies

As a die-hard fan of the chilling tale of Pennywise, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming series ‘It: Welcome to Derry’. Having grown up with Stephen King’s masterful storytelling and being captivated by Bill Skarsgård‘s terrifying portrayal of the iconic clown, this new venture promises to delve deeper into the spooky lore that has kept me awake at night.

Lovers of the chilling clown Pennywise are about to explore even more eerie details in his backstory. Actor Bill Skarsgård, who breathes life into this iconic figure, recently revealed to SFX magazine that the upcoming Max series ‘It: Welcome to Derry’ will reveal previously unseen aspects of Pennywise in films.

The interview is included within an article that additionally highlights the Doctor Who Christmas special titled ‘Joy to the World.’

‘The story, titled ‘It: Welcome to Derry’, unfolds in 1962, which is 27 years before the start of the first film’s plot. This tale delves into a chilling narrative that aims to reveal the mysterious, sci-fi aspects of Pennywise’s origins.’

In 2025, it’s anticipated that the series will premiere with its first nine episodes, further exploring the world created by Stephen King, which was earlier developed by directors Andy and producer Barbara Muschietti.

The pair is back at the helm for the show, accompanied by an old team and newcomers like Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and Madeleine Stowe in the cast.

Upon his comeback, Skarsgård conveyed a smooth resumption of the character’s persona.

Resuming his role felt like a triumphant exclamation, and he burst forth with energy. He’s incredibly defined, as if he’d never taken a break,” he remarked. The actor hinted that the upcoming series will delve into aspects unexplored in the films, causing excitement and eagerness among fans.
