The First Teaser for ‘It: Welcome to Derry' Is Creepy in All the Best Ways
The first-look images released last year were tantalizing, but HBO's eerie first teaser has solidified our ravenous desire for It: Welcome to Derry, a show we'd 100% drop into a sewer occupied by a demonic clown to watch.
Get ready to go back to where IT all began… 🎈 #ITWelcometoDerry is coming this fall to HBO Max. pic.twitter.com/SOhXEA6yYe

The imagery is nightmare-inducing—as is the suggestion of Pennywise's ever-lurking evil. In no way would we ever want to actually enter the city limits of Derry, Maine, but we will absolutely sink our pointy teeth into this show and spend some time there at a safe distance.
It: Welcome to Derry is set in 1962 and takes inspiration from Stephen King's 1986 horror novel. More specifically it expands the world of Andy Muschietti's two It films—which take place in 1988-'89 and 2016, meaning the series will act as a prequel of sorts. The story is by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, who are also among the show's executive producers.
Fuchs wrote the first episode; he's co-showrunner with fellow executive producer Brad Caleb Kane. Andy Muschietti directs four of the season's nine episodes.
In addition to Skarsgård, the It: Welcome to Derry cast includes Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, and Rudy Mancuso.
It: Welcome to Derry hits HBO and Max in 2025.

Originally a monastery, then a fort and, in the mid-nineteenth century, the biggest prison in the British Empire. Colloquially, it is often referred to as "Ireland's Alcatraz". At that point it was used to incarcerate many people arrested for stealing food during the famine of the 1840s so it would probably be more surprising if there were no reports of tormented souls haunting the island.

Ahead of Kim Cattrall's Birthday, Samantha Jones's 7 Best Moments on ‘Sex and the City'
And Just Like That… may officially be over, but I'm still finding it hard to forgive the Sex and the City reboot series for the original sin of not bringing back the show's best character, Samantha Jones. (Yes, it's objectively true that Kim Cattrall did not want to return, but still, didn't Sam's legacy deserve more than becoming the text friend?) Well, this week just so happens to mark Cattrall's 69th birthday, and in her honor, we've rounded up Sex and the City's very best Sam-centric plotlines—from her breakup with Richard (and ensuing flyer-posting spree) to her brief stint as Brady's babysitter, as well as more serious moments, like Samantha's experience with cancer. Find them all below. Samantha babysitting for Brady I love the Sex and the City episodes that give us a little glimmer of Samantha's compassionate side, and that's exactly what we get when she sends a majorly stressed-out postpartum Miranda to take her hair appointment with a highly coveted stylist and volunteers to keep an infant Brady alive for an afternoon (with aplomb, it must be said). Who'd have thought that that baby would eventually have a baby? Samantha sticking up for Charlotte (and Shayla)

5 best movies like 'Night Always Comes'
Netflix's No. 1 spot may still belong to the phenomenon that is "KPop Demon Hunters," but the streaming service's propulsive new thriller "Night Always Comes" has nevertheless managed to make a strong impression. Within days of its Netflix premiere, Benjamin Caron's hard-hitting crime thriller has shot to the No. 2 spot in Netflix's top 10 movies list. The movie, essentially, is a survival story. We follow Lynette ("The Fantastic Four: First Steps" star Vanessa Kirby), an occasionally reckless young woman who spends one stressful evening trying desperately to secure enough money to save her family home in Portland, Oregon. Despite breaking into the most-watched list, "Night Always Comes" has landed mixed reviews from both critics and fellow viewers. While I found it to be a fairly compelling (if bleak) watch, others aren't so sure: it's currently earned a 56% critics' score and an even lower 45% from audience members on Rotten Tomatoes. If you've already streamed "Night Always Comes" — or the mixed reception has put you off, but you're still looking for a thriller to watch — here's a round-up of movies like "Night Always Comes" that you may want to stream next, and where you can watch them. I'm kicking off this list with another intense thriller that plays out across one evening: Michael Mann's "Collateral." We're introduced to LA cab driver, Max (Jamie Foxx), whose night veers wildly off-course when sharply-dressed Vincent (Tom Cruise) hitches a ride. His new customer is a hit man who wants Max to ferry him from job to job, and when Max clocks what's really going on, he attempts to stop Vincent from finishing his current job — all while trying to avoid ending up becoming Vincent's next victim himself. Watch "Collateral" on Paramount Plus now Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Nicolas Winding Refn's slick Ryan Gosling thriller "Drive" is a violent action thriller (with one hell of a soundtrack) that's more than worthy of your precious streaming time. It follows Driver (Gosling), a skilled stuntman with skills behind the wheel who moonlights as a getaway driver for the city's criminals: Give him a time and place, you get him for five minutes, and he'll get you where you need to be, safely. Trouble brews when a heist goes south, putting the Driver — and Irene (Carey Mulligan), the neighbor he's fallen for and her young son — in the crosshairs of some very dangerous people, and forcing him to go on the offensive. Watch "Drive" on Philo now Joel Schumacher's "Falling Down" is a tense, comic thriller about Bill Foster (Michael Douglas), a disgruntled man who bristles against the mounting frustrations of everyday life. On the day we join him, Bill faces one too many minor annoyances, and something inside finally snaps. He abandons his car in gridlock traffic and sets off on a violent trek across Los Angeles, lashing at anyone who gets in his way. Meanwhile, police sergeant Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall) spends his final day of service in hot pursuit, trying to find and stop Bill Foster as his spree rages on. Buy/rent "Falling Down" on Prime Video now If you read my initial reaction to "Night Always Comes," you'll know that I couldn't stop thinking about "Good Time" the entire time I was watching Netflix's new movie. That's because these two taut, neon-lit crime thrillers make for great companion features. In this sprawling thriller, small-time crook Connie Nikas (Robert Pattinson) is forced into action after a botched bank heist ends with his younger brother Nick (Benny Safdie) behind bars. manipulative Connie then embarks on a long and violent journey through New York City's criminal underbelly, trying to secure enough cash to bail him, on a night that just keeps getting worse. Watch with Cinemax or buy/rent "Good Time" on Prime Video now On the surface, "One Of Them Days" might seem a slightly odd choice to follow "Night Always Comes." Lawrence Lamont's buddy comedy isn't exactly a taut, gritty thriller. But it is another movie that plays out over just one day that spirals way out of hand, and could make for a breezy follow-up to the intense Netflix original. In this hilarious comedy camper, we follow Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) as they scramble to avoid eviction... because Alyssa's boyfriend (Joshua David Neal) has run off with their money. Cue a chaotic race against the clock to gather enough cash and survive with their friendship intact. Watch "One of Them Days" on Netflix now Not seeing anything you want to stream?
