(🤡 Pennywise's Past: What We Know About Welcome to Derry Season 2! 🏚️
The first season of the It prequel, Welcome to Derry, delivered chilling scares and a deep dive into the cosmic horror that plagues the cursed town. While an official Season 2 renewal is still pending from HBO, the show's creators have been open about their ambitious, multi-season vision!
⏳ A Glimpse into Derry's Dark History
Creators Andy and Barbara Muschietti, along with showrunner Jason Fuchs, have indicated that Welcome to Derry was conceived as a three-season arc, designed to trace different cycles of Derry's violent history.
