The teaser trailer for IT: Welcome to Derry totally captures the tone of Stephen King’s bestseller. The nearly two-minute first official teaser shows the kids getting freaked out over the weird goings-on in Derry, and ends with a long-distance shot of Pennywise the Clown.
Bill Skarsgård reprises his role as the terrifying killer clown. The series also stars Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, and Rudy Mancuso. The teaser didn’t include a premiere date, but did confirm it’s targeting a fall 2025 premiere.
“Set in the world of Stephen King’s IT universe, IT: Welcome to Derry is based on King’s IT novel and expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films IT and IT Chapter Two,” reads HBO’s synopsis.
Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs developed the series, and Andy Muschietti directed multiple episodes. Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane are the co-showrunners, and Fuchs also wrote the first episode and serves as an executive producer. Kane, Bill Skarsgård, Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, David Coatsworth, Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin also executive produce.
