The new horror series was expected to debut in just a year.
The writers' and actors' strikes have seen a number of highly anticipated projects have to pause development, including the HBO series Welcome to Derry, which is a prequel story set in the world of Stephen King's IT. Development on the series was moving relatively slowly, but before the writers' strike officially started earlier this year, the project had found its main cast.
The new series is set in the town of Derry, Maine, as made famous in King's 1986 IT. The killer clown Pennywise is undeniably the most recognizable component of that story, though it would seem that Welcome to Derry would focus on other bizarre events that unfold in the town as opposed to putting emphasis on Pennywise.
