The third episode of the horror-drama prequel series It: Welcome to Derry, titled “Now You See It,” releases this Sunday on HBO Max. The show continues to explore Pennywise’s sinister origins set in 1962 Derry, Maine.
The series builds upon the world introduced by Stephen King and later interpreted by Andy Muschietti in the films. As the story unfolds, more families in Derry confront strange disappearances and disturbing encounters that reveal the town’s hidden darkness.
“The prequel expands the universe established by Andy Muschietti in the two films, exploring how Pennywise’s reign over Derry begins and deepens.”
Episode 1 introduced Leroy and Charlotte Hanlon, a military family moving to Derry in hopes of a peaceful life. Their arrival quickly spiraled into suspense as children vanished and eerie creatures prowled the shadows. Subsequent events have intensified the terror, weaving together tragedy, fear, and the growing presence of Pennywise.
This week’s installment promises both emotional depth and escalating horror as hidden truths come to light and the town’s nightmares take shape once more.
Episode 3 of It: Welcome to Derry heightens tension and terror, exposing new layers of Derry’s cursed history while revealing how Pennywise’s reign of dread begins.
