What Time Does ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 2 Come Out?

IT: Welcome to Derry premiered on HBO last Sunday, introducing Stephen King fans to a new generation of young “losers” fighting to survive the evil entity we know as Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård). If you saw Welcome to Derry Episode 1 “The Pilot,” then you already know that the HBO show isn’t afraid to kill its darlings. No fewer than four pint-sized characters fall into Pennywise’s clutches by the end of the episode! Will It kill again in the next episode of IT: Welcome to Derry? When will IT: Welcome to Derry be back on HBO?

IT: Welcome to Derry is set in 1962, 27 years before the events of Andy Muschietti‘s first adaptation of Stephen King’s It. The Air Force has stationed Major Leroy Hanlon (Jovan Adepo) in Derry, Maine as part of their Cold War defense efforts. While the Korean War vet looks forward to living with his family in a “normal” American town, we know that Derry is far from a safe place to raise a kiddo. The Hanlons are moving to Derry just in time to experience Pennywise’s latest cycle of terror.
