More news to come in the new year. Unless, y’know… we’re all doomed.“

Kane is working on two horror prequel series as he’s alsothe showrunner onthe Pennywise seriesIt: Welcome to Derry, which will be released on HBO Max. It will be exciting to watch these origin stories of two of the most iconic villains in the genre. Like Pennywise, Jason is an otherworldly figure who doesn’t always seem human, and he is an absolutely brutal killing machine. While the creepy clown targets kids in the sewers of a small town in Maine and Jason hangs around at Camp Crystal Lake, the villains are both so eerie-looking that no one could forget them.
According toTV Line,final girl Adrienne Kingsuggested that the show could come out in 2024, that didn’t happen. There is no release date as of now, but several publications have wondered if it could be released in 2025.
