The creators of this spine-tingling series kept a tight lid on Bill Skarsgård's iconic portrayal of Pennywise, revealing him only in Episode 5. But here's the twist: they didn't just hide him from viewers; they also isolated him from his fellow actors, ensuring their reactions remained genuine and untainted.
Matilda Lawler, Amanda Christine, and Clara Stack, who embody the characters of Marge, Ronnie, and Lilly, respectively, were kept in the dark until the very moment they encountered Skarsgård in his terrifying circus attire. "They kept him top secret... until that fateful sewer scene," Christine revealed. Stack added, "He's a charming guy off-set, but the moment he transforms into Pennywise, the terror is palpable."
But it's not all horror; there's a touch of humor too. Lawler shared amusing anecdotes of unexpected Pennywise sightings on set, like encountering Skarsgård in full costume, sweatpants, and a regular shirt, which she described as "not an everyday sight."
"IT: Welcome to Derry" is a masterpiece in the Stephen King universe, ranking among the top TV adaptations of his work. With its blend of suspense, horror, and unexpected humor, it's a must-watch for fans of the genre.
