The eerie fog is once more enshrouding Derry, Maine, as HBO Max debuts the official teaser for the upcoming prequel Welcome to Derry, a chilling addition to Stephen King’s legendary IT series.

This tale delves deeper into the “interludes” of Stephen King’s original novel, shedding light on the tragic occurrences that have plagued Derry for centuries.
