IT: Welcome to Derry (TV Series)
This one's a must-watch, and it's right here on HBO Max. This series goes deep into the beginnings of Pennywise the Dancing Clown and the creepy history of Derry, Maine. Get ready for some spooky stories, mysterious disappearances, and the evil that rears its head again after decades. We don't have a lot of info about the cast and plot yet, but this series is going to be a big expansion of the IT universe. It's perfect for fans of the Stephen King multiverse and anyone curious about Neibolt Street and that infamous red balloon.
IT (1990)
Travel back in time with the original 1990 miniseries directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise is still super creepy, even without all the fancy CGI we have today. This version follows The Losers' Club Bill, Beverly, Richie, Eddie, Mike, Ben, and Stanley as kids and adults, with the story switching between timelines. The special effects might seem a bit old-fashioned, but the atmosphere is spot-on, and the fear is genuine. Fans of Stephen King's IT novel will recognize a lot of the original scenes in this movie.
It (2017)
Fast forward to 2017 for a modern, chilling reboot of the first part of the story, directed by Andy Muschietti. The film focuses on The Losers' Club as kids in the 1980s. Jaeden Martell as Bill Denbrough, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, and Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak. The rest of the cast brings incredible energy, humor, and fear to this dark coming-of-age horror film. Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise is a captivating, demonic work of art. The sewer scenes in Derry? It's a classic.
IT Chapter Two
The Losers return to Derry as adults in the conclusion. The all-star cast includes James McAvoy (adult Bill), Jessica Chastain (adult Beverly), Bill Hader (adult Richie), James Ransone (adult Eddie), Isaiah Mustafa (adult Mike), and Jay Ryan (adult Ben). The film takes place 27 years after the first part, and it looks at how Pennywise's curse is still around. It dives deeper into the psychological horror and the characters' traumas, with the ritual of Chüd and the Deadlights playing central roles. This emotional finale is the perfect ending for the IT franchise, with plenty of hidden details for die-hard fans.
Why This Order Works
This order, starting with Welcome to Derry, followed by the 1990 miniseries as an alternative timeline, and ending with the modern duology from 2017 and 2019, builds lore and atmosphere beautifully. The prequel sets the stage and gets you hooked. The original IT (1990) shows how the story first came to life. Then, the reboot hits with full force—tighter, scarier, and more emotional than ever. This way, you'll get to experience the IT universe in all its forms, from vintage demonic clown horror to modern psychological horror with cosmic undertones. One more tip for your marathon: keep an eye out for that classic red balloon symbol, and listen closely to the dialogues. There are some subtle nods to the Stephen King multiverse, like hints about The Dark Tower and other works. And you never know, that IT video game we've been talking about might actually happen one day. Final snack advice: Popcorn is a must, but add some red M&M's for some extra flair. If you really want to go all out, check out the IT audiobook or the IT comics for the ultimate lore dive after your binge.
