A Town Called Derry

A Town Called Derry is an American horror anthology television series that airs on HBO, inspired by the works of author Stephen King. It focuses on King's fictional town of Derry, Maine and the various horrifying events that occur there. The series premiered it's first 13-episode season on October 27th 2019.

The first season takes place in the 1960s and focuses on the hunt for an escaped mental patient of Derry Asylum and a local police officer taking interest in the patient's case and investigating his bizarre claims that a celestial being influences his behaviour. It is an original story drawing from various Stephen King stories and ran for 13 episodes.

The second season takes place in the modern day and focuses on an elderly man who wakes up one morning to discover his long-deceased dementia-ridden wife has returned, free of illness. This season is loosely inspired by Bag of Bones and ran for 13 episodes.

A third 13-episode season is currently in development, and will reportedly focus on two teenagers who discover that swimming a local lake allows them to time travel, and they learn of a supernatural being that has been tormenting Derry for decades, producers have confirmed that this creature would be a "cousin of It", not the "It" creature itself. This season will draw comparisons from IT and 11/22/63.

A fourth season loosely inspired by Fair Extension is also in development.
