IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 7 Preview: Runtime, Black Spot Plot and What to Expect Next

The seventh episode of HBO’s “IT: Welcome to Derry” is highly anticipated. It’s generating a lot of excitement because it’s unusually long – over an hour and 45 minutes – and focuses on the mysterious “Black Spot” storyline. Fans are particularly interested in seeing how the show is establishing the origins of Stephen King’s iconic “IT” universe and are hoping for new information and a deeper understanding of the frightening events unfolding in 1962 Derry.

This series takes place long before the events involving the Losers Club. It centers on a family who moves to Derry around the time a young boy named Matty goes missing. What starts as a simple disappearance quickly turns into a series of unsettling events and growing fear for the town’s residents. The show reveals how Pennywise’s evil first began to affect Derry, and how people from an earlier generation – including the ancestors of Mike Hanlon – first faced this hidden evil.

Release date confirmed for episode 7

The seventh episode of IT: Welcome to Derry will be available on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 9 pm Eastern Time. You can watch it on HBO and stream it on HBO Max, where subtitles will be ready immediately. Viewers in the UK can tune in to Sky Atlantic at the same time, and it will be available on NowTV shortly after.

The latest episode of the series, “In the Name of the Father,” ended with a shocking reveal: Ingrid Kersh is actually the daughter of Pennywise, through his human identity, Bob Gray. The episode concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, showing an angry mob surrounding The Black Spot, where Hank Grogan and some children are hiding, promising a thrilling next episode.

The season is planned to have eight episodes, but episode seven is particularly noteworthy. It’s longer than the others and expected to heavily feature the Black Spot storyline. Online, viewers are buzzing with predictions about big plot twists, more development for the characters, and a closer look at the ancient curse affecting Derry.

Viewers outside of the US can watch Episode 7 on their usual streaming services. The episode will be about 58 minutes long when shown on TV, but streaming versions will include extra content.
