Welcome To Derry will be the latest show arriving to HBO next year. HBO today has released a new teaser for the show which included some sinister vibes. The snippet looks to be an homage to other Stephen King books for Stephen King’s novella The Body which served as the premise for Rob Reiner’s dark coming-of-age classic, Stand by Me.

In the clip the words “This ain’t America. This is Derry.” are heard over top of the show’s brief first look. The teaser features a welcome sign to the Maine town and boasts it to be the birthplace of the legendary Paul Bunyan. The teaser reveals several teenagers take the spotlight in the reel, each of whom is covered in blood and some sort of other fluid. We don’t see Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise, a role that he’ll reprise from the two movies helmed by Andy Muschietti.

Welcome to Derry will be a prequel series that will track the rise of Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the years before he wreaked havoc and dumped heaps of childhood trauma onto Bill and the rest of his friends. The show will travel back to the 1960s and follow a group of fresh faces that will include the likes of Rudy Mancuso (Música), Kimberly Guerrero (Reservation Dogs), Dorian Grey (Star Trek: Discovery), Thomas Mitchell (RoboCop), BJ Harrison (Dead Boy Detectives), Shane Marriott (Fargo), Chad Rook (Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City), Peter Outerbridge (Sullivan’s Crossing), Madeleine Stowe (The Last of the Mohicans), Stephen Rider (Daredevil), and more
