It

It is an American horror media series based on the 1986 novel It by Stephen King. Set in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, it follows a group of children known as the Losers' Club, who confront an ancient entity that takes the form of Pennywise, a terrifying clown that preys on children. The story explores themes of fear, friendship, childhood trauma, and the lasting effects of violence. The franchise has inspired numerous adaptations, including television productions, films, novels, and video games. Among its most notable adaptations is the 1990 television miniseries directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, starring Tim Curry as Pennywise. Other prominent adaptations include the 2017 film It, directed by Andy Muschietti, and its sequel It Chapter Two (2019), which follows the Losers' Club as adults. The franchise also expanded with the prequel television series It – Welcome to Derry, which premiered in 2025.
