HBO Max‘s It prequel series Welcome To Derry has scored its Pennywise – and it’s a returning Bill Skarsgård.

Skarsgård, who famously donned the clown makeup in 2017’s It and 2019’s It: Chapter Two, has been confirmed to reprise his role as the creepy intergalactic clown-looking creature known as Pennywise for the upcoming TV prequel series.

...

Skarsgård previously said in March 2023 that he wasn’t involved in the prequel series, though he left the door open for a future return.

I am hopeful of this. The book has many grisly stories about terrible happenings around Derry with Mike interviewing various people around the town. Those stories didn't make it into the movies. I think it'd be interesting to cover them.

It's a good point, a lot of my issues with prequels is that they remove a lot of the jeopardy.
