Deadline reports that Bill Skarsgård is set to reprise his role of Pennywise the clown for the upcoming It prequel series Welcome to Derry (which may end up only being a working title).
In addition to starring in the It prequel series, Bill Skarsgård will also executive produce. When asked last year, the actor said he wasn’t involved in the series, so I think fans are relieved that he will be lending his bloodthirsty giggle to the proceedings after all. Skarsgård’s take on Pennywise was instantly iconic in my eyes, so it was hard to imagine the series either skipping the character altogether or recasting. I’m excited to see him come back.
Andy Muschietti, who directed the two It movies, developed the series alongside producers Barbara Muschietti, Jason Fuchs, Brad Caleb Kane, David Coatsworth, Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin. The story comes from Andy Muschietti,...

The city of Colonia is home to a rising population of murderers looking to cause all manner of macabre carnage in the new 10-issue comic book series Kill More. Written by Scott Bryan Wilson with artwork by Max Alan Fuchs, the first issue of Kill More will be released on September 13th from Idw Originals, and as a special treat for Daily Dead readers, we have an exclusive look at Fuchs' artwork that offers eerie insights into the eclectic killers showcased in the new series, including development art featuring Obsideo, Lady Facesmasher, and The Giraffe.
Writer Scott Bryan Wilson discussed the malevolent murderers lurking within the pages of Kill More:
"Remember when you were in school and the teacher would have to leave the room for a minute? Immediately, the worst kids would take advantage and turn into monsters—almost on a primal instinct for defying and flagrantly disregarding the established classroom rules and norms.
