Last week’s IT: Welcome to Derry ended with two haunting teases for terrible horrors yet to come. First, the HBO show finally set up the absolutely vile race massacre that Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) visited upon the Black Spot in Stephen King‘s book. Then, it introduced a terrifying new creation all its own: Periwinkle the Clown, aka the alter ego of Ingrid Kersh (Madeline Stowe). So what’s going to happen next on IT: Welcome to Derry? When does the next episode of IT: Welcome to Derry come out?
IT: Welcome to Derry is HBO’s prequel series to the popular 2017 and 2019 It film adaptations. Welcome to Derry Season 1 mainly follows the how the generation before the Loser’s Club emerged in the ’80s dealt with Pennywise and his many fearsome other specters. After confronting the evil cosmic being in the sewers below Derry, our heroes are largely scattered. Lilly Bainbridge (Clara Stack) is determined to kill It once and for all, while friends like Ronnie Grogan (Amanda Christine) just want to survive.
Meanwhile, Lilly has discovered Mrs. Kersh’s creepy connection to the clown known as Pennywise. Ingrid Kersh was the daughter of the real man who portrayed Pennywise the Dancing Clown and she is now determined to lure It out in the open to reunite with her father.
So what’s going to happen next? Will Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk) finally become the hero he is in The Shining? Will the U.S. military find Pennywise? Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the next episode of IT: Welcome to Derry...
