• IMDb: 6.9/10 (480 votes)

A surprise 30-minute special from HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry, released on HBO Max on Halloween 2026. Set hundreds of years before Pennywise, it follows three young people into the Western Wood, where they meet an ancient spirit. Not the show's regular episodes, the It movies, or the city of Derry.
