Filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti (who made the successful big-screen adaptations It and It: Chapter Two) and Jason Fuchs (It: Chapter Two) are on board the project from Warner Bros. Television. Andy Muschietti will direct multiple episodes of the series, including the first episode. The show’s working title is Welcome to Derry.

Creative details are scarce, except that the series will be a prequel to New Line’s It films, promising to “expand the vision” of the movies. Fuchs will write the first episode, which is based on a story by the Muschiettis and Fuchs. Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane will serve as co-showrunners on the project.
