The Pennywise prequel series stars Jovan Adepo, Taylour Paige, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgård.
Set in the titular Maine town in 1962, the show’s trailer teases Leroy (Adepo) and Charlotte Hanlon’s (Paige) move to the “normal” town of Derry after Leroy’s stints on base in the military. The clip then hints that the small town is anything but, with disappearances of children, creepy creatures and more lurking in its past and haunting the present.
