Ten new actors, including stars from Echo, Batwoman, and the Saw franchise, have joined the IT prequel series.
Yesterday, HBO revealed that they had cast ten new actors in recurring roles in Welcome to Derry, a prequel series to Stephen King 's IT, which will bring back Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise. No characters names are given, and with ten people all in recurring roles, it seems likely these will be either members of the Derry community who aren't main characters, or main characters only in one half of a time-shifted narrative.
Per Deadline, who first broke the news, here's the rundown of new actors: Alixandra Fuchs , Kimberly Guerrero , Dorian Grey , Thomas Mitchell , BJ Harrison , Peter Outerbridge , Shane Marriott , Chad Rook , Joshua Odjick and Morningstar Angeline . There's no details on any of the roles just yet. The news comes less than a day after news that Warner Bros. Discovery will rebrand Welcome to Derry -- as well as DC's Lanterns an a number of other upcoming projects based on popular IP -- from Max originals to HBO Originals and move them to the beloved cable network. It's the latest in a series of moves by WBD management to minimize the importance of the streaming platform to the company's overall business plan.
Welcome to Derry is set in King's fictional town of Derry, Maine that Pennywise terrorized for generations. It will take place decades before the events of IT. In the novel and original TV adaptation, the earliest events of the story unfold in the late '50s, though in the two-part cinematic adaptation of the story, this timeline shifted forward for the earliest events taking place in the '80s.
