Get ready to return to Derry! "Welcome to Derry," the highly anticipated prequel series to Stephen King’s "IT," is generating buzz. While plot details are still emerging from the sewers, the cast is starting to take shape. Here's what we know about the actors who will be facing Pennywise and the horrors of Derry.

The New Faces of Derry

While the child actors from the "IT" movies won't be reprising their roles (naturally, given the timeline), "Welcome to Derry" promises a fresh ensemble to carry the terrifying torch. Here's a look at some confirmed cast members:

  • Taylour Paige: Known for her breakout role in "Zola," Paige brings a compelling presence to the series. Her role is currently undisclosed, leaving fans to speculate on her character's connection to the horrors of Derry.
  • Jovan Adepo: Adepo, who has starred in "Overlord" and "Watchmen," is another exciting addition. His range and intensity make him a perfect fit for the dark and unsettling world of "IT."
  • Chris Chalk: Chalk, recognized for his work in "Perry Mason" and "When They See Us," adds depth and experience to the cast. Details about his character remain a mystery, fueling anticipation.
  • James Remar: A veteran character actor with a long and impressive filmography, Remar's presence suggests a potentially significant role, perhaps one tied to the town's sinister history.
  • Stephen Rider: Rider, known for his role in "Daredevil," rounds out the initial cast announcement. Like the others, his specific role is being kept under wraps.

What We Can Expect

"Welcome to Derry" is set in the 1960s, exploring the events leading up to "IT." The series promises to delve into the origins of Pennywise and the evil that plagues the town. Given the talent involved, expect a chilling and suspenseful story that honors Stephen King's iconic novel.

Connecting to the Source Material

One of the most exciting aspects of the prequel is the potential to see younger versions of characters from "IT.". Will we see a young Henry Bowers? A glimpse into the lives of the parents of the Losers Club? The possibilities are endless, and fans are eager to see how "Welcome to Derry" connects to the beloved source material.
