HBO Max‘s It prequel series has added four new cast members, including Dexter alum James Remar and Perry Mason actor Chris Chalk.

As reported by Variety, Remar and Chalk will be joined by Taylour Paige (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) and Jovan Adepo (Watchmen) for the upcoming series, which is currently titled Welcome to Derry.

Character details are not yet known as the series is keeping things under wraps, but we do know that the show is set in the world of Stephen King‘s It universe and is based on his It novel. It is expected to expand the vision established by director Andy Muschietti in the feature films It and It Chapter Two.

Fuchs also serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Brad Caleb Kane.

Also executive producing via their Double Dream production company are the Muschiettis, as well as Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin. HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television will produce.

Remar is best known for his role as Harry Morgan, the father of Dexter Morgan in FX’s Dexter. More recently, he played Frank Gordon in Gotham from 2016 to 2019 and Peter Gambi in Black Lightning from 2018 to 2021.
