We travel back to 1908, where the real Pennywise, Bob Gray, performs for a group of captivated children. Little did he know, his encounter with a mysterious boy would change everything. The boy, disguised as "It," lures Bob into the woods, leading to a tragic end. It seems "It" discovered a new, terrifying form to lure its victims - a clown.

Derry's calm is short-lived as Leroy Hanlon uncovers the military's sinister plan. General Shaw's plan? To allow Pennywise to torment America every 27 years, avoiding a potential civil war.

With Pennywise awake and on a killing spree, the stage is set for a thrilling finale. Based on Stephen King's iconic novel, "It: Welcome to Derry" expands the universe created by Andy Muschietti.

Starring Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, and Bill Skarsgård, this series is a must-watch for horror enthusiasts. Catch the remaining episodes on HBO Max, leading up to the season finale on December 14.
