The upcoming series has added Taylour Paige (Zola), Jovan Adepo (Babylon), Chris Chalk (All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt), and James Remar (Oppenheimer) to its cast. All four will star in the series, although their exact plot and character details are being kept under wraps for now.
“Set in the world of Stephen King’s It universe, 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,” reads the logline.
