Roxy Striar & Jackie Bonsignore react to IT: Welcome to Derry’s surprise Halloween special, “A Story of Derry,” for the first time! Set hundreds of years before Pennywise, the episode follows Neekani and her friends into the forbidden Western Wood, where they uncover the horrifying origins of the Kollu and the forces that imprisoned it beneath Derry. Watch their reaction to Zahn McClarnon’s mysterious dagger-wielding Mitig, Maturin the Turtle’s live-action debut, the ancient monster attacks, and the creation of the 13 pillars!

Directed by Tazbah Chavez (Reservation Dogs, Rutherford Falls), “A Story of Derry” stars Kiawentiio as Neekani (Avatar: The Last Airbender, Beans), Isabel Deroy-Olson as Kino, Michael Podemski-Bedard as Maneese, Zahn McClarnon as Mitig (Dark Winds, Reservation Dogs), Morningstar Angeline as Sesqui (Outer Range, Frybread Face and Me), Kimberly Guerrero as Rose (Rutherford Falls, The English), and Brandon Oakes as Apto (Anne with an E, Diggstown).
