Some fans of Stephen King’s It may feel that HBO’s new series It: Welcome to Derry is an unnecessary expansion of the iconic story of the entity known to many as Pennywise. However, Andy and Barbara Muschietti have made it clear that there is a lot of story that remains unexplored in King’s novel despite its mammoth 1100+ pages, and that is what Welcome to Derry is uncovering.
