The creepy clown is back to haunt the nightmares of fans as a prequel series to the the hit films IT (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019) hits screen. The audience is transported back in time in 27-year intervals, with the lore behind Pennywise uncovered.
The show follows the story of a couple - Charlotte and Leroy Hanlon - who move to the Maine town of Derry with their young son in 1962 (27 years before the events of the first film). At the same time as their arrival in the town, another young boy goes missing and eerie and terrifying happenings are being reported by residents.
