Last week’s episode of IT: Welcome to Derry concluded with chilling hints of future horrors. The HBO series delved into the horrific race massacre orchestrated by Pennywise (played by Bill Skarsgård) at the Black Spot, as depicted in Stephen King’s novel. Additionally, it unveiled a new, spine-tingling character: Periwinkle the Clown, the sinister alter ego of Ingrid Kersh, portrayed by Madeline Stowe. As anticipation builds, viewers are left wondering what lies ahead for IT: Welcome to Derry. When can audiences tune in for the next episode of this gripping series?

IT: Welcome to Derry serves as a prequel to the acclaimed It films released in 2017 and 2019. The first season of this HBO series explores the experiences of the generation before the Loser’s Club of the 1980s, depicting their encounters with Pennywise and other terrifying entities. After a harrowing confrontation with the malevolent force lurking beneath Derry, the protagonists find themselves scattered. Among them is Lilly Bainbridge, played by Clara Stack, who is resolute in her mission to destroy the creature, while her friends, including Ronnie Grogan (Amanda Christine), are focused on survival.

Amidst this turmoil, Lilly uncovers a disturbing link between Mrs. Kersh and Pennywise. Ingrid Kersh is revealed to be the daughter of the original Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and she is intent on drawing the entity out to reunite with her father.

What twists and turns await viewers next? Will Dick Hallorann, portrayed by Chris Chalk, rise to become the hero he is destined to be, as seen in The Shining? Is there a possibility that the U.S. military could track down Pennywise? Here’s what you need to know about catching the next episode of IT: Welcome to Derry.
