It ain’t just mean old clown. This creature has a far more complicated backstory, one you might not know if you haven’t read Stephen King’s novel, or might not remember if you haven’t seen the It films in a while.
If so, we’re here to help. Our first Easter egg breakdown for the new series It: Welcome to Derry, will point out all the hidden details and little Stephen King references you might have missed in the pilot — which is appropriately titled “The Pilot.” Not only is this the pilot episode of the show, but it introduces us to Welcome to Derry’s main character, Leroy Hanlon who works as a pilot. Plus, we’ll discuss the show’s connections to The Music Man, and which characters and locations in the show are from the It movies and even from other Stephen King novels like The Shining.
