Skarsg?rd will reunite with other key figures from the It film franchise, the two movies’ director Andy Muschietti, producer Barbara Muschietti and Chapter Two co-producer Jason Fuchs, who developed together the TV adaptation of the Stephen King horror classic, as well as the films’ other producers, Roy Lee and Dan Lin. Andy Muschietti is set to direct four episodes of the nine-episode series.

Earlier this week, Bill Skarsg?rd was coy when discussing reprising the role again, but both he and Muschietti just so happened to be heading to Toronto at the same time to film something. It’s where the IT movies were filmed, and Skarsg?rd had said about his sojourn to Toronto, ”I don’t want to spoil it.”

“Set in the world of Stephen King’s It universe, Welcome to Derry is based on King’s It novel. It expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films It and It Chapter Two,

Taylour Paige (Zola), Jovan Adepo (Babylon), Chris Chalk (All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt), and James Remar (Oppenheimer) are also part of the Welcome to Derry cast.
