Last year, it was announced that Warner Bros. was working on an It prequel series for the HBO Max streaming service which would delve into the backstory of the demonic (possibly alien) entity known as Pennywise, and the show has now set its main cast.

Deadline reports that Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and James Remar are set to star in the show, which is tentatively titled Welcome To Derry.

No details on any of their characters have been disclosed.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Bill Skarsgård is not expected to reprise the role of Pennywise.

It Parts 1 and 2 filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti are on board along with Jason Fuchs (It: Chapter Two). Andy will also direct multiple instalments of the series, including the first episode

Specific plot details are still under wraps, but the show is expected to serve as a prequel story that will “expand the vision” of the recent movies.

“As teenagers, we took turns reading chapters of Stephen King’s It until the thick paperback fell to pieces,” the Muschiettis said in a statement when the project was given a series order. “It is an epic story that contains multitudes, far beyond what we could explore in our It movies. We can’t wait to share the depths of Steve’s novel, in all its heart, humor, humanity and horror.” “I’m excited that the story of Derry, Maine’s most haunted city, is continuing, and I’m glad Andy Muschietti is going to be overseeing the frightening festivities, along with a brain trust including his talented sister, Barbara,” added author Stephen King. “Red balloons all around!”
