At present, very little is known about the developing Welcome To Derry – the upcoming HBO Max series that will serve as a prequel to the hit blockbusters IT and IT Chapter Two. Obviously the "prequel" part tells us that the show will be set before the events of the movies instead of after (a.k.a. the mid-20th century), but we have yet to get official confirmation of the exact setting, and while a number of actors have signed on, we don't know who any of them are playing. Information is very valuable right now for all Stephen King fans anticipating the project – which is why its exciting to learn both that production has begun, and that there will be at least one character with a firm link to a key player in the films.
Director Andy Muschietti has revealed via his personal Instagram page that he has started filming the pilot for Welcome To Derry – and while the caption he's included doesn't offer us much information, the image is intriguing. Check out his post below:
