‘Welcome to Derry’ Finale Charts Reverse Timeline, Sends ‘IT’ to No. 1 on HBO Max as Renewal Remains Unannounced

HBO has not announced a second season despite the creators detailing a plan to move next to 1935 and then to 1908.

Overview

  • The season ender introduces new timeline lore that ties the series more directly to the IT films without revealing plot specifics.
  • Showrunners say the villain’s perception of time is non‑linear, a premise that underpins the planned reverse‑chronology structure.
  • Creators outlined a 1935‑set second season focused on origin threads, including Bob Gray and Ingrid, with a third envisioned for 1908, though neither is greenlit.
  • A post‑credits coda nods to moments from the films, further reinforcing continuity across the franchise.
  • Franchise interest surged after the finale, with IT: Chapter One ranking No. 1 on HBO Max on Dec. 17, according to FlixPatrol.
