Dick Hallorann is already becoming a vital figure in It: Welcome to Derry , and his "gift" in the show have a significant link to Stephen King's wider universe. Chris Chalk portrays Dick as part of Welcome to Derry 's cast for season 1. The HBO series is a prequel to Andy Muschietti's It movies, with the first season taking place in 1962.

Like the movies, Welcome to Derry is changing the It timeline a bit, but it's also expanding on the characters and storylines previously mentioned in King's 1986 novel. In fact, the show is embracing the shared universe created by King in several ways, including the incorporation of a special character who has appeared in several of King's books.
