It: Welcome to Derry
9pm, Sky Atlantic
“Do you think somebody could kidnap a kid and keep him underground … in the sewers?” For those of us who have been far too terrified of Stephen King’s Pennywise to ever watch the It franchise, this origin prequel series is best watched through fingers (or with eyes closed throughout). Developed by the team behind the more recent films, the supernatural horror is set in 60s America, following the events of a small town with missing locals, plucky kids, gruesome goings-on and suspicious new residents. Bill Skarsgård reprises his role as the evil clown, but it’s not just him doing the petrifying. You won’t want to turn your lamp on tonight … Hollie Richardson
