In a new interview, executive producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti discuss how the HBO series Welcome to Derry connects to the larger world of Stephen King’s stories. They explain that the show goes back to the beginning of Pennywise the Clown’s story, set in 1962, twenty-seven years before the events of the first IT movie. This time period was chosen to explore the anxieties of the Cold War era and the social issues of the time, and the show focuses on the Hanlon family to connect the supernatural horror to relatable human experiences.
Fans can also expect to learn more about how characters and places from other King stories, like Dick Hallorann from The Shining and even Shawshank Prison, might tie into Derry’s history and the Hanlon family’s ongoing story.
The interview reveals that Welcome to Derry is more than just a scary show – it’s a story about the lasting effects of trauma, the weight of the past, and the enduring nature of evil.
