It Guía y cronología
In Derry, Maine, a group of outsiders discovers that the thing preying on children knows exactly what frightens each of them. Stephen King's It follows the Losers' Club from childhood into a reckoning with old terror. The novel, television miniseries and modern films tell separate versions of that return.

It: Returning to Derry in the Right Version
For the modern screen route, watch It (2017), It Chapter Two, then Welcome to Derry Season 1 and A Story of Derry. The announced second season goes back to 1935 and has no confirmed release date. The novel and 1990 miniseries remain separate tellings.

Welcome to Derry is tracked by season because it is still expanding into distinct periods. The Halloween special has its own event; it is not counted again inside the eight-episode first season.
Overview & recommendation
It is about a childhood fear that adulthood has not put to rest. The Losers' friendship and memories give Derry its emotional shape, so meeting them matters more than finding the town's earliest dated horror.
Each adaptation handles the childhood and adult material differently. Choosing one complete telling makes more sense than treating an earlier screen cast as the youth of a later one.
Begin with the novel or your chosen adaptation. For the modern screen route, meet the Losers in It and It Chapter Two before Welcome to Derry Season 1, then watch the standalone A Story of Derry special. Continue with Season 2 when it is released; its earlier setting does not make it required first viewing.
King's Novel and Separate Screen Derry Histories The source, television miniseries and modern adaptation
