Bill Skarsgård, who starred as Pennywise in 'It' and 'It: Chapter Two', will reprise his role for the upcoming prequel series.

HBO Max‘s It prequel series Welcome To Derry has scored its Pennywise – and it’s a returning Bill Skarsgård.

Skarsgård, who famously donned the clown makeup in 2017’s It and 2019’s It: Chapter Two, has been confirmed to reprise his role as the creepy intergalactic clown-looking creature known as Pennywise for the upcoming TV prequel series.

…

Skarsgård previously said in March 2023 that he wasn’t involved in the prequel series, though he left the door open for a future return.

    Quite true, but even with the roles in John Wick, it keeps him in the “sadist/abuser” role in a film. Antagonist vs. Protagonist.

    I don’t have any answers either, otherwise I’d rule Hollywood … still, I’d hate to see him get put in that corner for good.
