A Closeup of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise in It 2017
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Welcome to Derry has added 10 cast members to its production. Welcome to Derry will be a prequel to Stephen King's It, which had its most recent film in 2019 with It: Chapter Two. Earlier this year, it was announced that Bill Skarsgård, who played Pennywise in the most recent two It films, would return to his role for the series. In addition to starring, Skarsgård will also be an executive producer for the series.
As per Deadline, Welcome to Derry has tacked on new cast members for the series. Said cast members include Alixandra Fuchs, Kimberly Guerrero, Dorian Grey, Thomas Mitchell, BJ Harrison, Peter Outerbridge, Shane Marriott, Chad Rook, Joshua Odjick, and Morningstar Angeline. These ten actors will play recurring characters on the series, but identities and details about their roles are still under wraps, as is the plot of Welcome to Derry.
Welcome to Derry is Already Positioned for Success These new Welcome to Derry stars join an existing cast that includes Skarsgård, Taylour Paige, Chris Chalk, Jovan Adepo, Stephen Rider, and James Remar. The new cast members bring with them a wide variety of backgrounds, with some acting in big Marvel shows like Echo, such as in the case of Angeline, and others contributing their talents to Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent or Star Trek: Discovery .
The casting announcement for Welcome to Derry comes after the series received another important bit of news earlier this week. On Tuesday, it was announced that Welcome to Derry was to become an HBO Original rather than a Max original. This distinction was also identified for the upcoming Harry Potter TV series.
The fact that this announcement was followed by a more complete cast list indicates that Welcome to Derry's production is a big priority for HBO in the upcoming months. With a high-profile cast and higher budget, the series will have the opportunity to produce the highest quality show possible, positioning it for success. The Skarsgård It films may be tough acts to follow, but with the amount of backing behind Welcome to Derry, the prequel series may just be up for the challenge.
