IT: Welcome to Derry – everything you need to know about the new Max horror series
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. IT: Welcome to Derry - key info - Confirmed to arrive in October 2025- The season will have nine episodes - It will take place before the events of the 2017 feature film.- A first trailer has been released- Cast confirmed including Bill Skarsgård IT: Welcome to Derry looks poised to whisk viewers back to the nightmare-inducing world of Stephen King's It. First announced back in 2022, this HBO prequel show hails from the creative team behind the two recent feature adaptations, Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs. Andy Muschietti directed several episodes with Fuchs on producing and scripting duties. It marks the second small-screen appearance of sewer-dwelling clown Pennywise after he first terrorized a generation in the cult classic 1990 miniseries. Fans of the door stopper tome who are familiar with those existing adaptations are in for a treat. This upcoming serialized take is heading back in time to three eras of Pennywise's reign previously unexplored onscreen. As it goes, we've accumulated all the latest info on the series, from its tentative release date down to the rumors about future seasons, so you can get your fill of everything related to It: Welcome to Derry right here. Does It: Welcome to Derry have a release date? Initially slated for a Halloween 2024 release, the premiere was pushed back in light of the writers strike. HBO Max has now confirmed it will arrive in October 2025, with an exact release date not yet announced. The nine-episode first season started filming in downtown Port Hope, Ontario in May 2023, taking a significant pause for the writers strikes, eventually wrapping in August 2024. We now know it's coming to our screens in time for the spookiest season of all, and a new social media post read: "ll roads lead to Derry. First stop: #SDCC. #ITWelcomeToDerry is coming this October to HBO Max." Anyone planning on visiting San Diego Comic Con is in luck, as they've teased that will be their "first stop", so horror fans can expect to see something big there. Outside of that, we'll have to wait until October to dive back into Stephen King's terrifying world once again. It: Welcome to Derry: Has a trailer been released? In May, we got a first proper look at Welcome to Derry which I described as "delightfully" creepy in my trailer reaction. The trailer takes us back to the Stephen King's cursed fictional town of Derry, and introduces us to some of the residents who are unlucky enough to be haunted by its dark secrets. Another teaser clip is 7 seconds long and opens with a group of kids pushing their bikes beneath a bridge as a train passes overhead. One girl asks "What did you see?" and a boy responds "A clown" as we see the little tyke pulled underwater by a rotting arm. It: Welcome to Derry Cast A story like IT: Welcome to Derry demands a sprawling ensemble and the lineup is stacked: Jovan Adepo Chris Chalk Taylour Paige James Remar Stephen Rider Bill Skarsgård Dean Yool Madeleine Stowe Alixandra Fuchs Kimberly Norris Guerrero Tyner Rushing Dorian Grey Thomas Mitchell BJ Harrison Peter Outerbridge Shane Marriott Chad Rook Joshua Odjick Morningstar Angeline Rudy Mancuso Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk and James Remar were all announced back in April 2023 by HBO Max– but their roles remain, like most of the cast, under wraps. It appears Adepo might be playing Mike Hanlon's father, Will, as early promotional photos show him in military uniform with his surname stitched onto his attire. Well over a year later, Deadline announced Bill Skarsgard's return as the clown Pennywise. Skarsgard performed in the 2017 and 2019 It movies, delivering a performance that carries echoes of Tim Curry's Pennywise from the '90s miniseries yet is entirely his own. It: Welcome to Derry story and rumors Described as a prequel series, IT: Welcome to Derry will take place before the events of the 2017 feature film. HBO's official logline is pretty brief: "Set in the world of Stephen King's IT universe, IT: WELCOME TO DERRY is based on King's IT novel and expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films IT and IT Chapter Two." According to reports, it revolves around what Andy Muschietti terms "interludes" from King's novel. In the book, we learn details about the history of Derry and Pennywise's previous attempts to bring havoc to the town from Mike Hanlon. This first season runs 9 episodes long and is set to explore a specific set of events depicted in Hanlon's writing, namely; the burning of the Black Spot. Because the film adaptations shifted the action from the 1950s to the 1980s, these earlier periods will also be nudged forward. The main story of the show will take place in 1962 – exactly 27 years before the story depicted in the 2017 film – and unravel the story of the Black Spot. In the novel, we learn about the Black Spot from Hanlon's father, Will, who recants the tale to him from his hospital bed. During Will Hanlon's stint in the Air Force, he and his fellow airmen open a bar for Black patrons which is targeted by white supremacists. During the ensuing tragedy, Pennywise manifests in the form of a giant bird, snatching its first victim. While the focus this time around is on new characters and new scenarios, the Muschiettis assure fans that familiar themes will resonate into the show such as friendship, loss and the power of unified belief, but in addition, Andy told Entertainment Weekly that the show "focuses also on the use of fear as a weapon, which is one of the things that is also relevant to our times." What's most exciting is that this will bring to the screen moments from King's extensive It lore that have previously only existed on page. Will there be future seasons of It: Welcome to Derry? As it stands now, the plan for the series is to roll out three seasons — each delving into a specific epoch of Pennywise's reign in the small Maine town. Muschietti, in an interview with Radio TU, explained his plan for what happens beyond season one. 'It's a story that's based on the interludes of the book. The interludes are basically chapters that reflect Mike Hanlon's research… For 27 years, it's the guy trying to figure out what it is, what did it, who did it, who saw it, and all that stuff. 'So they talk about catastrophic events from the past, like the fire in the Black Spot…. the massacre of the Bradley Gang, a gang of bank robbers in the '30s… and the explosion of the Kitchener Ironworks. Every time [Pennywise] comes out of hibernation, there is a catastrophic event that happens at the beginning of that cycle." Each season's story is slated to unravel 27 years before the first. Muschietti goes on to tease: "There's a reason why the story is told backwards. So the first season is 1962, the second season is 1935, and the third season is 1908.' It's hard to imagine a series based on a popular property such as IT would fail to score a season two renewal, so we'd hazard a guess and say a sophomore season will likely drop in late 2026 or early 2027.

7 new horror movies on Prime Video, Shudder, HBO Max, and more in August 2025
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Can you believe it's August already? Me neither, but I'm happy to report it's a great month for horror movies across the best streaming services. Whether you're after nineties classics or critically-acclaimed new releases, I've found seven of the best horror movies you can stream throughout the month. Oh, and there are clowns, lots of clowns. If you're planning a theater trip instead, don't forget to check out our new movies roundup for the biggest and best titles coming this year. Anaconda When: August 1Where: Netflix (US); Rent or buy (UK, AU) If you're scared of snakes, you might want to sit this one out. Or if you're feeling brave, it's now streaming on Netflix. The iconic 1997 movie focuses on a documentary film crew in the Amazon rainforest that is led by a snake hunter. The hunter is looking for a giant, legendary green anaconda, and of course, nothing could possibly go wrong here. With the right mix of action and horror, US audiences are in for a treat. Sadly, it's not streaming in other territories right now. Final Destination Bloodlines When: August 1Where: HBO Max (US); Rent or buy (UK, AU) HBO Max remains an excellent place to find all the latest horror movies. Their newest addition is Final Destination Bloodlines, a sequel that has left fans seriously impressed. Over the years, the franchise has seen mixed Rotten Tomatoes scores, and everyone has their own thoughts on which movie is the best. Currently, Bloodlines is the highest of the bunch with an impressive 93% on the Tomatometer. Following on from the other plots, this one centers on a college student who is plagued by a violent and recurring nightmare. So she tries to stop the cycle of death and save her loved ones. Final Destination fans know this setup well, and you're in for a grisly treat. Happy Death Day When: August 1Where: Peacock (US); Netflix (UK); Stan (AU) Time loop movies have been done to death (excuse the pun) after Groundhog Day, but Happy Death Day is a solid take on reliving the same day over and over. Here, we follow a college student who is murdered on the night of her birthday, but begins to relive the day again and again. In an attempt to break the loop and get her life back, she uses these resets to try and track down the killer. The sequel, Happy Death Day 2U, is just as good, but unfortunately, it's not available to stream. Killer Klowns From Outer Space When: August 1Where: Prime Video (US, UK); Paramount+ (AU) The first of many clown movies this month is Killer Klowns from Outer Space, which is exactly what it says on the tin, really. This well-known sci-fi comedy horror is well worth your time, mashing up plenty of genres with highly entertaining results. These aren't just any clowns, as the title suggests, we're dealing with extraterrestrials that look like clowns who descend on Earth. They invade a small town and begin kidnapping the locals, so they can harvest them for food. This 80s horror was a huge box office success, and it's well worth watching at home, too. Gags the Clown When: August 7Where: Shudder (US); Prime Video (US, UK) The second in our clown-filled horror recommendations this month is Gags the Clown. If clowns weren't already horrifying enough, this one is found footage, which adds that extra layer of feeling uncomfortable. Cool. In this movie, a clown roams the city streets at night, terrorizing the population. This prompts a local news reporter to try and find out his identity and put a stop to the madness. Unfortunately, Gags has inspired a group of schoolkids to create trouble too, and there's chaos around every corner. This is perfect if you want a gritty, realistic horror. The Monkey When: August 7Where: Hulu (US); Rent or buy (UK, AU) The Monkey is Osgood Perkins' latest horror outing after his terrifying Nic Cage-led Longlegs, but this one has very different vibes. Taking a darker comedy approach, The Monkey is based on a Stephen King short story and follows twin brothers whose lives are turned upside down by a cursed toy monkey that causes horrific deaths around them. There's a great cast here with Theo James playing the brothers, and Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, Adam Scott, and Perkins himself round out the cast. Clown in a Cornfield When: August 8Where: Shudder (worldwide) Finally, check out this other literally named clown movie. Clown in a Cornfield follows, er, a clown in a cornfield who emerges to target locals and "cleanse the town of its burdens". Unfortunately for protagonist Quinn and her father, they've just moved to this quiet town where they end up going head to head with this serial killer clown, who is on a rampage after the town has fallen on hard times. Slasher movie fans should have a fun time with this one when it lands on August 8.

WWE SummerSlam 2025: What Time Does Night 2 Start On Sunday?
WWE has a tough job on its hands. Following Night 1's explosive main event and surprise ending won't be easy, but Night 2 of SummerSlam has its own lineup of potentially explosive matches. The action begins at 6 p.m. ET. You can watch it on Peacock. Here is a look at the entire card. WWE SummerSlam Sunday Match Card - August 3 Undisputed WWE Championship Street Fight John Cena (c) vs. Cody Rhodes Women's World Championship Match Naomi (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY Intercontinental Championship Match Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles United States Championship Steel Cage Match Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jacob Fatu Women's Intercontinental Championship No Disqualification Match Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria WWE Tag Team Title Six-Pack TLC Match WWE Tag Team Champions The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Street Profits vs. The Motor City Machine Guns vs. #DIY vs. Fraxiom vs. Andrade & Rey FenixWhat Matches Could Steal the Show From John Cena and Cody Rhodes in the Main Event? Everyone will be waiting for the John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes main event. There is a chance that we could see all kinds of outside interference in this Street Fight. I'd be surprised if WWE didn't at least try to match what they accomplished on Saturday night with Seth Rollins' cash-in. That said, keep an eye on the TLC Six-Pack Tag Team Match. The number of athletes combined with the stipulations has my expectations freakishly high for this one. I'm hoping Nathan Frazer, nor anyone he's in a spot with, gets injured. Frazer is a bullet when he's in the ring, and sometimes I worry he's moving a little too fast. It's happened before. Hopefully, he has it all under control and his brilliance will shine through. I'm also fired up for Naomi's title defense against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. Naomi is on a run that is similar to what Liv Morgan experienced in 2024, when she was my Female WWE Superstar of the Year. If Naomi can keep the title through the next two PLEs and continues to do the character work that she's done recently, she'll have the spot on lock. Lastly, my eyes are wide open for the Steel Cage Match between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. The latter has found a way to re-invent himself with some humor, and he now has another faction. I could see either person going over, but it could be time to elevate Jacob into the premier title picture. Yadadamean? Be on the lookout for a post-PLE awards piece.
