It
The Master of Horror unleashes everything you were ever afraid of.
Created by Stephen King
On ABC
A two-part horror epic that interweaves childhood trauma and supernatural terror, grounding cosmic dread in the bonds of a found family fighting an ancient evil.
In 1960, seven outcast kids known as "The Losers' Club" fight against an ancient shape-shifting alien who poses as a child-killing clown, while also dealing with bullies and abusive parents. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the creature once and for all when it returns to their hometown.
