IT Chapter 3: Welcome to Derry is an upcoming horror film that continues the legacy of Stephen King’s IT, but this time with a deeper dive into the terrifying history of the cursed town of Derry, Maine. Slated for a 2025 release on HBO Max, this new installment is expected to serve as a prequel to the first two IT films, exploring the origins of Pennywise the Dancing Clown and the sinister forces haunting Derry.

We’re introduced to new characters who begin to uncover the evil lurking beneath the surface, tying in themes of fear and trauma that resonate through Derry’s history. This time, the town’s cursed cycle is explored from a generational perspective, showing how Pennywise has been feeding on the town’s fear for centuries.
