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.

    Bill needs to put away these psycho/weirdo roles for a bit and maybe do a romcom or two. He’s seriously going to get typecast.

    Perhaps he enjoys them or it could be the family decided to assign the roles each sibling was eligible for to reduce any bad feeling. So Alexander gets the more leading-man-without-shirt parts and Bill gets the bug-eyed-freakazoid gigs. That said, Bill has got in serious shape recently, so perhaps he reckons Alexander is getting old enough he can make his move and take over his patch.
