Early reviews for the show Welcome to Derry are generally positive, earning a 78% rating. This places it among the better Stephen King adaptations for both film and television, which have often been inconsistent in quality. The first episode focuses on the disappearance of Matty (played by Matthew Clements), but the show makes a change from the original book. While Matty disappears in 1958 in King’s novel, the series sets the events in 1962, utilizing the 27-year cycle established in the story.

I’m saying this as a big fan of Interview With the Vampire (the show). I really appreciate how the writers have taken the story in new directions, and I think that approach can work well – we’ve seen similar things succeed on cable before. Talamasca is different from a direct adaptation of Anne Rice’s books, and as the first show in AMC’s expanded universe to do that, I truly hope it does well! I’m rooting for it.

The episode begins with a shocking scene: the death of 12-year-old Matty Clements. Unlike the story of Georgie, Matty is a younger-looking child who still uses a pacifier. He’s at a showing of The Music Man when he sneaks in, and the song “Ya Got Trouble” becomes a recurring theme. After being kicked out, Matty tries to leave Derry by hitchhiking with a family – a man, his pregnant wife, and their two children. However, he quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The family’s behavior is disturbing: the daughter is eating raw liver, the mother uses harsh language, and the son spells out frightening words. When Matty discovers they’re driving back to Derry, he tries to take control of the car, accidentally bumping the mother’s stomach and triggering a premature birth. She delivers a monstrous, winged demon baby with empty eye sockets. The baby flies around the car and ultimately kills Matty, becoming the episode’s first victim. While Pennywise is missed, the show deserves credit for creating a new and terrifying form for It.

Many reality shows feature newcomers quickly facing intense social challenges, and Housewives is no different – it’s essentially the same dynamic, but with more alcohol. A new cast member is immediately put to the test, and everyone watches to see how they’ll handle the pressure. Will they thrive or struggle? Showing any sign of weakness can quickly lead to trouble. This episode of Potomac focused on the new cast members trying to find their place within the group, with mixed results.

Don’t worry, we won’t interrupt or try to rush you away! Below, you’ll find some special content from IT: Welcome to Derry. Keep reading! (Just so you know: Updates will appear with the newest first, but once we’re finished, they’ll switch to a normal, top-to-bottom order.)

Colter and Russell grew up learning the same survival skills, but they developed in very different ways, each adding their own unique talents. The latest episode of Tracker offered a glimpse of what a spin-off focused on Russell Shaw could be like, showcasing how their approaches differ – and it was fantastic.

Some anime characters are truly creepy, others are villains so awful they’re universally hated, and still others just manage to annoy viewers right away. While a lot of hate doesn’t necessarily mean a character is poorly written, it’s always noteworthy when a character can evoke such strong negative feelings in so many people.

NCIS has always been a show about its team, and while it’s sad to see actors leave, those departures have also opened the door for new stories and characters. Fans will always remember the impact of these beloved characters and are excited to see what the future holds for the show – and maybe even a few familiar faces returning. Let’s take a look back at some of the most memorable characters who’ve left the NCIS team and why they moved on.

Taylor Sheridan remains heavily involved with Yellowstone and its related shows, but his influence on television has grown significantly since 2018. From 2021 to 2024, he released a new dramatic series each year, including Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lioness, and Landman. In mid-November, three of these shows will be airing around the same time, offering a packed day of content for his fans.

There’s a debate among filmmakers about using artificial intelligence in their work. Some, like the Russo Brothers who used it to alter voices in their film The Electric State, are exploring its potential. Others, like Guillermo del Toro, are strongly opposed – he reportedly said he’d rather stop working than use A.I., even stating, ‘I’d rather die.’ The case of Tilly Norwood, an attempt to introduce an A.I. actress, also highlights the controversy.
