Release Schedule for 'IT: Welcome to Derry' Episode 5 Announced

Share and Follow

The gripping storyline of HBO’s IT: Welcome to Derry took a chilling turn last week as viewers were drawn into a deeper understanding of the sinister entity known simply as “It.” In a tense conclusion, Dick Hallorann, portrayed by Chris Chalk, delved into the mind of local Indigenous resident Taniel, played by Joshua Odjick, uncovering the dark history of Derry and its cosmic antagonist.

Through Hallorann’s exploration, we discovered that this malevolent force crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago. Over time, it coexisted uneasily with the local tribe, who named it the “Galloo.” This precarious balance was disrupted with the arrival of European settlers in Maine, who ignored dire warnings to steer clear of the Galloo’s domain. Their disregard not only provided sustenance for It but also amplified its terrifying powers.

As Hallorann continues his quest, he learns that the entity can be traced by navigating the sewers branching from the old well beneath the notorious house on Neibolt Street. The episode concluded with a haunting glimpse of this iconic location, leaving viewers on edge.

Anticipation builds as fans wonder if they will finally witness It in its full, terrifying Pennywise form, brought to life by Bill Skarsgård. The fate of characters such as Leroy Hanlon, his wife Charlotte, and their son Will hangs in the balance, adding to the suspense.

For those eager to continue this thrilling journey, here’s how you can catch Episode 5 of IT: Welcome to Derry on HBO and HBO Max…
