It: Welcome To Derry Answers Every Question You Were Too Afraid To Ask About Pennywise

Director Andy Muschietti felt that the story of Pennywise, as presented in the films, had many unanswered questions—we understand how It hunts and is defeated, but not why It chose Derry, Maine, or why It takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. The new series, It: Welcome to Derry, aims to answer those questions by looking back at previous periods of terror in the town’s history. In an interview with Game Rant, Muschietti and co-showrunners Jason Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane discussed why exploring Pennywise’s origins is a compelling idea.
