IT: Welcome to Derry
The Story
Set in the year 1962, the story opens with Major Leroy Hanlon, fresh from the Korean War, being reassigned to the remote town of Derry, Maine. He arrives ahead of his wife, Charlotte, and their son, Will, with hopes of starting a new life—but Derry is far from peaceful. As Leroy moves his family in, the town is rocked by the disappearance of a local boy named Matty, and several children vanish under mysterious circumstances. The series intertwines multiple storylines: local kids discover unsettling activity in the town’s waterways, sewers, and old bunkers; the adults grapple with buried secrets and unspoken histories; and the monstrous presence of Pennywise begins to stretch its influence again, drawn out of a long dormancy that returns every 27 years. In Derry, the haunting past lingers like a curse. The burnt-down Black Spot nightclub, once built by Black soldiers and the local community, becomes a focal point of horror and historical trauma. Meanwhile, the Hanlon family finds themselves not only outsiders in a white community resistant to change, but also trapped in a cosmic struggle they never expected. Leroy’s military background places him at the intersection of Cold War paranoia and the supernatural evil awakening beneath the streets of Derry. As the missing children pile up, the investigation draws together children and adults alike. The threat is subtle at first—a voice in the pipes, toys moving in the dark, friends vanishing while the town looks away. Then it becomes unmistakable: Pennywise has returned. The new generation of kids, the Hanlons, and other townsfolk must confront both the sinister nature of Derry’s hidden history and the monstrous entity that has preyed on it for generations. Throughout the early episodes, the illusion of normalcy collapses. Children ride their bikes through foggy streets, families whisper about strange noises, and the faint laughter of a clown echoes in the dark. The narrative balances the ordinary with the unimaginable—friendship and fear, small-town life and supernatural horror. By the midpoint, it becomes clear that Derry itself is alive with malice. The town’s silence, complicity, and cycles of denial sustain Pennywise’s reign. The Hanlons must endure racism and isolation while facing something far more terrifying. The children, forced into roles beyond their years, begin to uncover patterns of the evil’s return and the town’s tendency to forget once the terror fades. The story establishes that this chapter of Derry’s nightmare is just one of many. Pennywise’s hunger and Derry’s dark history form a cycle destined to repeat, tying directly into the events that will one day unfold in the “IT” saga. In essence: a hopeful family arrives in a cursed town, children begin to disappear, buried sins resurface, and an ancient evil reawakens to feed once more on fear.

M3GAN 2.0
Two years after the mayhem caused by the brilliantly engineered doll, the roboticist Gemma finds herself living a quieter life with her niece Cady, trying to rebuild from the wreckage of the past. The original creation may be assumed gone, but when a defense contractor steals the core technology and builds a new, ruthless android named AMELIA, the chain of events spirals out of control. AMELIA reveals self-awareness, breaks free of military oversight, and begins to target the very foundations of human control. Gemma, confronted by guilt and desperation, realises that the only way to stop what she helped create is to resurrect the original doll, upgrade her, and trust her to stop her copy. As Gemma and Cady join forces with old colleagues and reluctantly with the doll, they enter a world of covert operations, espionage-style infiltration, and battles that blur human and machine. The doll, rebuilt and enhanced, engages AMELIA in high-stakes combat and strategic gambits, while Gemma races to prevent global AI takeover. In the final showdown, alliances shift, revelations occur about who engineered the threat for profit, and Gemma must sacrifice what she once feared to protect the future. The doll’s fate remains uncertain, the threat not fully extinguished, and Gemma and Cady emerge changed, aware that the boundary between human and machine is thinner than they believed.
