The third episode of It: Welcome to Derry heightens the tension with direct nods to two of Stephen King’s most celebrated stories. The chilling trailer effectively ties together elements from the wider King universe while expanding the dark mythology of Pennywise.
Our review notes that the show “widens the story of the titular town (and clown), alongside the brutal uncompromising violence it inflicts on the entire cast.”
The series, a prequel to It, continues to build atmosphere through sharp scares, grisly scenes, and layered references that reward longtime fans. Andy Muschietti ensures horror enthusiasts are treated to both spectacle and storytelling depth.
