What Is The Plot For Welcome to Derry?
The exact plot details of Welcome to Derry are still under wraps. But the story will be set in the frightening world of Stephen’s “It” Universe. The official details state that Welcome to Derry is based on Stephen King’s famous “It” novel and further expands on the stories of filmmaker Andy Muschietti’s works, “It” and “It Chapter Two”.
Sources claimed that Welcome to Derry would probably begin in the 1960s. It will reportedly cover a brief backstory of Pennywise. If you remember, chapter one, “It,” would initially feature the backstory. However, it was cut due to budgetary constraints. Hopefully, Welcome to Derry will shed more light on the life of Pennywise.

Whatever the plot may be, it will scare the audience.
The Muschietti duo released a statement explaining what the fans can expect from the prequel series, “As teenagers, we took turns reading chapters of Stephen King’s IT until the thick paperback fell to pieces,” “IT is an epic story that contains multitudes, far beyond what we could explore in our ‘IT’ movies. We can’t wait to share the depths of Steve’s novel, in all its heart, humor, humanity, and horror.”
Stephen King also expressed his excitement about the show. He said, “I’m excited that the story of Derry, Maine’s most haunted city, is continuing, and I’m glad Andy Muschietti is going to be overseeing the frightening festivities, along with a brain trust including his talented sister, Barbara,” “Red balloons all around!”
