Pennywise is up to his old tricks in ‘Welcome to Derry,’ but you won’t always see him in his full, clown glory.
Bill Skarsgård is back as Pennywise for the It prequel Welcome to Derry, and like the movies, the show will use him when the scary situation truly calls for it.
Talking to SFX Magazine, co-showrunner Andy Muschietti likened the clown’s appearances in the show to the shark in Jaws: “It’s very appropriate for a monster that is a shapeshifter to appear in several different shapes and manifestations before he shows up as a clown,” he said.
