A prequel seems like a dead end to me... we literally know that none of the protagonists they might introduce will likely survive as Pennywise's first defeat is at the hands of the losers.

It's a good idea but it really depends on the era they pick. The settlers story is likely the best place to start and would be worth it to invest in. If they do the 31' story than that's a hard pass for me.
Eh, on the one hand seems like a weird thing to do a prequel series on and a origin story to. On the other, it's one of the few IP they have that they can spin a horror series out of and get guaranteed eyes on screen. So while it doesn't excite me, from a purely corporate standpoint it makes sense. Here's hoping it's good then.
I hope it starts with that turtle vomiting up Pennywise like in the book.
It's not surprising they'd announce something like this but I was more shocked to learn a new Firestarter movie is right around the corner with Zac Efron as the dad, my Stephen King priority right now is hoping that doesn't suck.
They really botched the part 2 movie. I don't know how they think this is a franchise ripe for expansion already.
I liked the the Part 1 movie but found the Part 2 overlong and meandering. I don't care about a prequel.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
The losers are the first humans to defeat Pennywise (their first forced him to retreat into hibernation before it was scheduled to occur and the second killed him entirely). Although you are correct Maturin did defeat him before at some point. Pennywise pretty much showed up, did his thing, then was back in hibernation before anyone was wise to it or could act.
The thing with IT is that Derry's history is littered with numerous events that could form the basis of this show. My hope is they focus on the Kitchener Ironwork explosion that happened during Easter Sunday. That or the founding of the town whereby 340 people just vanished without a trace.
