In anticipation of the forthcoming prequel to the widely acclaimed Stephen King novel, it’s high time we prepare for a return to Derry. Here’s what you need to know about “Welcome to Derry” before its release.
It appears that the much-anticipated series, “It: Welcome to Derry,” based on Stephen King’s renowned tale, is slated for an official unveiling in October this year. The prequel has been stirring excitement among horror enthusiasts who can hardly wait for its premiere. Here’s what we currently know about it.
It: Welcome to Derry official release date
Currently, an official air date for the series It: Welcome to Derry hasn’t been announced yet. Interestingly enough, it has been confirmed that the show will premiere in October 2025. However, given that October is just around the corner, there seems to be no definite release date available as of now.
Based on popular belief, it seems likely that the series premiere (possibly episodes 1-2) is scheduled to air around Halloween. This could imply a release date towards the end of October, with the season wrapping up near Christmas.
What is the new show?
The chilling tale, penned by renowned horror author Stephen King, centers around a group of children who grapple with an ominous entity that manifests as their deepest fears. Years later, the terror resurfaces, compelling these adults to revisit their childhood hometown of Derry, where they must once again confront their most profound anxieties.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but wonder if this upcoming show will delve deeper into the rich lore of Stephen King’s works. The entity featured in the main children’s story is actually rooted in numerous events spanning years detailed in his books. It’s quite likely that the show might choose to explore these intriguing backstories, which often appear as short chapters within the books, while also weaving in some fresh narrative threads.
Enthusiasts are particularly excited about the news that Bill Skarsgard will reprise his role as Pennywise in the upcoming films, given his acclaimed portrayal in previous hits.

In case you’re eagerly waiting for Derry, mark your calendars as it’s set to stream on HBO Max! The series is planned for a single season initially, but if public response is positive, we might see more seasons down the line. Time will unveil the future of this show.
