Warning: spoilers for "It: Welcome to Derry follow.
"It: Welcome to Derry" hasn't yet revealed how the military discovered Dick Hallorann's psychic abilities. According to actor Chris Chalk, while the origin of his character's unofficial conscription goes unaddressed in the show, there were discussions about how Hallorann got caught up in the Derry saga, and the prevailing theory is that it all began with a harmless game of cards.
"Stranger Things" might be back for its fifth and final season , but there's room for two horror series that involve a small town beset by supernatural occurrences that have attracted the attention of the U.S. military. "Welcome to Derry" continues to delve into the history of the titular entity and town, playing out exactly 27 years before "It Chapter One"
