I'm Both Terrified and Impatient for Pennywise to Show Up on 'Welcome to Derry'
The clown in It: Welcome to Derry shifts between several eerie forms before settling on the well-known Pennywise the Dancing Clown. After two episodes, Pennywise's entrance remains slow, building anticipation for a dramatic and traumatic arrival.
Despite the marketing highlighting Bill Skarsgård's return, fans are eager to see how director Andy Muschietti brings Pennywise's first television appearance to life. In a recent interview with io9, Jason Fuchs, writer, producer, and co-showrunner, explained their approach to Pennywise's many forms.
“We wanted to understand why a shape-shifter who has a virtually infinite number of forms it could take continues to take the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.”
Fuchs added that viewers will receive “really satisfying answers to some of those things in the context of the show,” but these answers will also bring “fresh mysteries and new questions.” Given Stephen King's permission to explore freely, the creators are adding new layers to this horror icon.
The initial episodes cleverly manipulate audience expectations, playing tricks not only on the young characters but also on viewers' perceptions of It.
