Bill Skarsgård returns as the cruel, cackling Pennywise in this haunting limited series co-created by It director Andy Muschietti. Stream the premiere - and an exclusive version in American Sign Language – on HBO Max.

Quick take: Set in the early 1960s, Welcome to Derry returns to the seemingly quaint New England town where numerous children have died or disappeared – and where adults offer little in the way of help. But when a young military family arrives in Derry, they realize that the town’s evil can take on many different shapes.

Don’t miss: Chris Chalk as Derry outcast Dick Hallorann – a character Stephen King fans may recognise from one of the author’s most enduring tales: The Shining.
