It: Welcome to Derry chronicles the events of the 1962 cycle of the evil entity behind Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Tension is high, the civil rights movement is making ground and the Cold War is about to reach its zenith. All this is fertile ground for It to do its thing. It: Welcome to Derry airs on HBO Max every Sunday and the official companion podcast can be downloaded immediately after wherever you get your podcasts.
