The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
It: Welcome to Derry is an American supernatural horror television series based on Stephen King's 1986 novel It. Serving as a prequel to the films It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019), the series was developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, all of whom were involved in the It films. The series stars a large ensemble cast including Bill Skarsgård, who serves as executive producer and reprises his role as Pennywise from the films. Andy and Barbara Muschietti along with Fuchs began developing the series in March 2022. After receiving a production commitment later that November, Fuchs and Brad Kane were hired as showrunners, and the series was greenlit in February 2023, with Andy Muschietti, who had directed both films, attached to direct multiple episodes, including the pilot. Casting began later in April, with Skarsgård cast in May 2024. Filming for the series began in May 2023 but was halted in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike; it concluded in August 2024. It: Welcome to Derry premiered on HBO on October 26, 2025. The series received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its direction, production values, title sequence, and performances (particularly from Skarsgård, Chris Chalk and the younger cast), although the writing and visual effects received some criticism.
