Ontario locations spotted in new teaser for HBO's ‘IT' prequel, ‘Welcome to Derry'

Pennywise is back and he's terrorizing a town that might look familiar to some in Ontario.
HBO just dropped the new teaser for the series based on Stephen King's novel 'IT' novel, published in 1986. 'IT: Welcome to Derry' is a prequel to the 'IT' films, Warner Brothers said in a news release.
The trailer shows a family that just moved to a quiet little town who will soon discover the horror that hides behind its peaceful façade. It also shows a group of children investigating the strange things happening in the town 'where it all began' according to a cut scene. The series is reportedly set in the '60s and will give fans a look into the origins of Pennywise.
'IT: Welcome to Derry' is scheduled to premiere on HBO by fall of 2025.

Most of the filming was done in Toronto. The city's residential areas served as the stand in for the mysterious town of Derry.

The teaser also shows some of the young characters biking in the middle of the road that viewers might recognize as the Ontario town of Port Hope.
Actors in the film production of 'Welcome to Derry' run through some rehearsals on Walton Street in Port Hope.
In April 2024, Downtown Port Hope
seemed to have been transported back to the 60s when filming crews filled Walton Street with vintage cars. Some interior and exterior scenes were shot at private businesses in the area.
Other scenes were also reportedly shot in some parts of Hamilton.
Derry High School as shown in the teaser.
In early 2024, the show's cast and crew were spotted filming some scenes in the former
Delta Secondary School.
The latter is the stand in for the local Derry high school in the show.
'Welcome to Derry' returned to Hamilton to film at the former Delta Secondary School after going into hiatus due to the strikes by Hollywood actors and writers last year. 'Fairview' is the show's false flag. The show is a prequel to 'IT,' the Stephen King horror tale.

The Gilded Age Cast IRL: See How the Season 3 Stars Look Out of Costume

Like the time period from which it gets its name, The Gilded Age is all about excess. From the characters' lavish homes to their stunning gowns and jewelry, it's like every day is the Met Gala — and the servants aren't the only ones serving. Here at TVLine, we live for a good fashion moment as much as Mrs. Fish lives for drama at the opera, but it's easy to get lost in the 1880s fantasy. Sometimes we forget that there are present-day women buried under all those corsets, bustles and bonnets.

In preparation for The Gilded Age's Season 3 premiere (Sunday, 9/8c), we're taking a moment to remind you what the HBO drama's cast looks like when they're not dressed in period-accurate costumes. And you might be surprised by some of the things you see. For example, did you know that Louisa Jacobson is actually a brunette underneath her blonde Marian Brook wig? Or that Ben Ahlers rocks a no-nonsense mustache when he's not playing baby faced jack-of-all-trades John Trotter? Prepare to learn all that and more as you peruse side-by-side comparisons of this season's Gilded Age series regulars (along with a few noteworthy Season 3 guest stars) out of costume, primarily using red carpet photos from the show's June 12 premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.

When does Season 3 of 'The Gilded Age' come out? Date, cast, where to watch

Step back into the Gilded Age, "a period of immense economic and social change," with Season 3 of HBO's lavish period drama. The opulent series, created by "Downton Abbey's" Julian Fellowes, follows high society and the battle between "old money" and "new money" in 1800s New York. In the upcoming season, the old guard is weakened following the Opera War and the Russells "stand poised to take their place at the head of society," according to the season synopsis. "Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first," the synopsis says, adding, "across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house." "As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear," it concludes.
