The first season of ‘IT: Welcome to Derry,’ starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, concludes this Sunday, December 14th, and viewers are eager to know if it will be renewed for a second season. Although HBO hasn’t officially confirmed anything, there are several indicators suggesting the show likely will return.
The first season of IT: Welcome to Derry, consisting of eight episodes, debuted on HBO and HBO Max on October 26th. The show takes place in the same world as Stephen King’s IT, building upon the stories told in the 2017 and 2019 films directed by Andy Muschietti. Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs developed the series.
A promising sign for the show is its strong viewership. The first episode attracted 5.7 million viewers across all platforms within its first three days, making it the third most-watched debut on HBO Max, after only House of the Dragon and The Last of Us.

The show continued to gain popularity throughout the season. According to Variety, Episode 7 attracted 5.8 million viewers within its first three days, and the series is currently averaging an impressive 10.7 million viewers per episode. These viewing figures are important because Warner Bros. Discovery will use them to decide if they will renew “IT: Welcome to Derry” for a second season.
Here’s what the creators have said about future seasons
While HBO hasn’t officially announced whether the show will continue, director Andy Muschietti has hinted at plans for many more seasons. He told Variety in October that the story is intended to be a long-running one.
According to Muschietti, the main storyline will span three seasons, each focusing on a different period when Pennywise appeared: 1962, 1935, and 1908.
He also shared that the series draws inspiration from Stephen King’s novel, but in a different way than the movies. The IT films focused on the main story, while the show explores the richer details and backstory within the book.
Director Andy Muschietti explained to Variety that the upcoming ‘Welcome to Derry’ series will delve into the backstory hinted at in Stephen King’s ‘It.’ He discovered a concealed narrative within the book’s interlude sections, noting that it unfolds in reverse chronological order.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m keeping a close eye on what everyone’s buzzing about, and right now, it’s ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ Season 2! The first season has been a huge hit, the creators already have a solid plan for several more seasons, and Bill Skarsgård is still set to reprise his chilling role as Pennywise. While it’s not officially confirmed yet, all signs point to a return to Derry. For now, you can catch the Season 1 finale this Sunday on HBO and HBO Max, and then we all just have to wait for the official announcement – but I’m feeling optimistic we’ll be seeing Pennywise again!
