The environments are richly and whimsically decorated; a child uses a wheeled metal hippopotamus like a gondola around the apartment where she lives. But this isn’t one of those projects where we come away “humming the sets,” to borrow a Broadway expression. […]Read On »

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Key Art | ©2025 HBO

Stephen King’s novel IT was originally published in 1986. It was first adapted as a television miniseries in 1990, then made into a two-film duology, 2017’s IT and 2019’s IT: CHAPTER TWO.
