The first season finale of It: Welcome to Derry brought the 1962 cycle of Pennywise’s (Bill Skarsgård) reign of terror on the title town to a grisly close but still left fans thirsty for more… and not just for the second and third seasons the creators are already hoping to do next, either. In fact, some fans are hoping to see a spinoff wholly dedicated to one of the standout characters of the season: Dick Hallorann (portrayed by Chris Chalk).

Season 1 of the It and It: Chapter Two prequel (and arguably sequel, based on the finale’s big twist) series focused on the Black Spot interlude, a small backstory included in Stephen King‘s written version of It that hadn’t been committed to screen before. Though in the book, Dick Hallorann is only briefly featured in the Black Spot massacre, the series’ first season focuses heavily on the character’s history in the town, revealing the hidden depths of his telepathetic talent known as the Shine.
