Ça: Bienvenue à Derry(IT: Welcome to Derry) is an American horror series developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs. Produced by Warner Bros. Television and HBO, the series returns to the roots of the myth of Pennywise, the terrifying clown from Stephen King's Ça universe. Expected to air on HBO Max in October 2025, it traces the origins of the evil that haunts the town of Derry in the 1960s, before the events of the films Ça (2017) and Ça: Chapter 2 (2019).
At San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), HBO presented the official trailer for the series. These images continue the aesthetic established by Andy Muschietti in the films, while heralding an even more terrifying plunge into Stephen King's universe. The ominous atmosphere, retro sets and omnipresence of Pennywise confirm the desire to remain faithful to the original work.
Ça: Welcome to Derry will air on HBO Max fromOctober 2025.
Synopsis: Delving into the world of Stephen King, Ça: Bienvenue à Derry is based directly on the cult novel and develops the story of the cursed town in the 1960s, exploring the origins of Pennywise and the gradual awakening of terror.
After two successful feature films, Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti extend Stephen King's horrific universe with Ça: Welcome to Derry. The series acts as a prequel, exploring the roots of the evil that has plagued the town of Derry for generations. Set in the 1960s, it follows new characters as they confront the gradual appearance of Pennywise, while retaining the dark tone and oppressive staging of the films.
The cast includes Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe and Rudy Mancuso. The major announcement concerns Bill Skarsgård, who reprises his iconic role as Pennywise after making his mark on audiences in the previous two films.
The series is developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, who also executive produce with Brad Caleb Kane, David Coatsworth, Bill Skarsgård, Shelley Meals, Roy Lee and Dan Lin. Produced by Warner Bros. Television and HBO, the series benefits from the active participation of the Ça film team, guaranteeing artistic and narrative continuity. Jason Fuchs, who wrote the first episode, shares the role of co-showrunner with Brad Caleb Kane. Andy Muschietti, already director of the films, will direct several episodes.
Ça: Bienvenue à Derry is aimed primarily at fans of Stephen King and the Ça films, but also at fans ofpsychological horror series such as Castle Rock, The Haunting of Hill House and American Horror Story. The series retains the codes of the genre - diffuse tension, symbolism of ancestral evil and small-town American atmosphere - while offering a complementary, accessible reading for new audiences.
Ça: Welcome to Derry is a horror series produced by HBO and Warner Bros., scheduled for release in October 2025. It expands Stephen King's universe by exploring the history of the town of Derry and the origin of Pennywise, with Bill Skarsgård back in his cult role. Between faithfulness to the novels and cinematic continuity, this series promises to be one of the great horrific events of the year.
