We all know It, and we all know Welcome to Derry. All the work that the Argentinian Andy Muschietti has done with the franchise will be forever etched in the minds of future generations, and that's why today, after a long break, I've returned with another reimagining of this story. This time, the fancast you're about to see is a "what if" scenario: what would have happened if the Welcome to Derry series were a prequel to the classic 1990 miniseries starring Tim Curry as the clown who terrified a whole generation? Based on the logic of the films and series and their alteration of events, this series would be set in Derry in 1933, and would follow the events that occurred 27 years before the 1990 miniseries starring Tim Curry, focusing on the Blackspot fire and including elements from the series we recently saw in 2025.
