IT: Welcome to Derry Funko Pops
Some have been speculating that IT: Welcome to Derry is more than just a prequel series. Apparently, it might be the start of an entire Stephen King universe, opening the doors to stories beyond the IT novel. The trailers for the new series have included references to both Dick Hallorann (The Shining) and Shawshank Penitentiary (Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption), meaning there’s definitely a possibility that Welcome to Derry is setting up a Stephen King shared universe.
As Comicbook’s Zack Zagranis puts it, “nearly every Stephen King novel contains at least one reference to the author’s other works. Ace Merril from The Body (AKA Stand by Me) shows up in Needful Things, Randal Flagg from The Stand appears in Hearts in Atlantis, etc. All of King’s novels and short stories are part of the same multiverse that fans have dubbed the “Kingverse.””
With Marvel popularizing the connected universe treatment, it’s no wonder that HBO wants their chance to build the next big franchise. King’s literary universe might be the best way to do it.
