IT: Welcome to Derry Ep 3 Trailer Links To Shawshank Redemption

The trailer for episode 3 of the IT: Welcome to Derry series hints at a significant link to a film Stephen King particularly enjoys. The first season of this prequel takes place 27 years before the original IT movie.

In addition to its ties to the IT films and book, Welcome to Derry includes Dick Halloran (played by Chris Chalk), a character fans will recognize from The Shining, and is packed with references to other Stephen King works.

The trailer for episode 3 shows Hank Grogan (Stephen Rider) in prison after his arrest, where someone asks him a chilling question: “Do you know what they do to kiddy-killers in Shawshank?” This line is a direct nod to Stephen King’s story, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which was famously made into a highly-rated film.
