Who Will Be in The Cast of Welcome to Derry?
Regarding information about the impending horror series, including who will feature in it, fans are still mostly in the dark. An official cast list has not yet been made public.
Will any of the movie stars be present? Hopefully so, too! Recently, there has been talking that Bill Skarsgrd will reprise his role as Pennywise the clown.
Though Comic Book Cinema claims that it hasn’t been confirmed yet, we’re crossing our fingers for a quick announcement! In the most recent films, the actor accomplished an outstanding job.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs have joined the cast, and Muschietti will be directing several episodes, including the season premiere. The show’s producers will be Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane.
What Are Synopsis For The Welcome to Derry?
We do know that the television show will function as a prologue to the events depicted in the films. How was Derry before Pennywise took control and terrorized families by haunting the streets? We’ll get the whole story from Welcome to Derry.
The series will finally provide us with some answers on Pennywise’s beginnings and how the curse got started if you have any unanswered questions. In a recent interview with Variety, Sarah Aubrey, the president of original programming for HBO Max, gave a preview of Welcome to Derry.
“We have been working with Jason Fuchs, Brad Caleb Kane, Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti very closely…They’re so deep into this mythology and they have such a firm handle on the storytelling around these characters and also the demented scares that they’re putting into things. Sometimes I’m, like, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Just all the wild ways they think up to terrify us. You’ll be hearing more concretely about that development very soon… Andy is very involved in every bit of this, so that is the real recipe for success and for delighting fans.”
HBO Max Will Air The Welcome to Derry!
The popular “It” film franchise will have a TV spinoff, HBO Max has ordered, the streaming behemoth revealed on Thursday. The haunting town from the films and the iconic Stephen King book “It” will be the setting for the prequel series with the working title “Welcome to Derry.”

The pilot episode will be directed by “It” director Andy Muschietti, who also produced and directed “It” (2017) and “It Chapter Two” (2019). Muschietti will collaborate on the project’s development with Jason Fuchs, his sister Barbara Muschietti, and others.
“As teenagers, we took turns reading chapters of Stephen King’s ‘IT’ until the thick paperback fell to pieces,” the Muschiettis said Thursday in a statement.
“‘IT’ is an epic story with a great deal more to offer than we could possibly cover in our ‘IT’ movies. We are eager to share the heart, comedy, compassion, and terror of Steve’s novel with you.
In addition to “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Wyatt Oleff made up the main cast of 2017’s “It.”

Actors playing their adult counterparts in the follow-up included Bill Hader, James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Jay Ryan, Isaiah Mustafa, James Ransone, and Andy Bean.
Of course, Bill Skarsgrd’s portrayal of Pennywise the Clown was indistinguishable in both horror films. If any former “It” cast members will appear in the prequel series is unknown.
“I’m excited that the story of Derry, Maine’s most haunted city, is continuing, and I’m glad Andy Muschietti is going to be overseeing the frightening festivities, along with a brain trust including his talented sister, Barbara,” King said in a statement. “Red balloons all around!”
