IT: Welcome to Derry teaser: It's back to the beginning in the world of Derry, as the second teaser for HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry, has been released online. The series is based on Stephen King's 1986 horror novel IT.

Set in Derry, Maine, USA, in 1962, the teaser shows the an African American family moving into the town, and highlights the unique looks they get, from the townspeople. The teaser then shows a couple of kids, trying to find clues about a previous case of a missing child. A montage plays out, which hints at the different cases of people missing happening throughout town. The hints all point at one evil spirit terrorising the town, Pennywise.

The franchise began in 2017, with Andy Muschietti's IT, which follows a group of young boys and one girl, on a quest to find the body of one of the boys' brother. It also introduced Pennywise, a creature, that wakes up every 27 years and terrorises Derry. A sequel, IT: Chapter 2, was released in 2019, which saw the now adult gang, dealing with Pennywise's return and the consequences of the first film.

IT: Welcome to Derry, stars Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgard. It is developed by Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs.
