Andy and Barbara Muschietti’s IT: Welcome to Derry might come from a popular franchise, but it’s quickly proving to be one of the strongest adaptations of Stephen King’s works. The first two episodes of the horror-thriller have been met with largely positive reviews, setting the stage for the upcoming third episode.
The third episode is scheduled to premiere on November 9, returning to its regular release pattern after a Halloween special shifted the timeline briefly.
A newly released trailer teases more than just the usual chilling visuals—it unveils a crucial nod to another Stephen King story. The series continues to weave in ties to the broader King universe, offering attentive fans several Easter eggs to uncover.
The first two episodes follow the disturbing story of three children murdered by a monstrous infant inside a local theater. Hank Grogan, the theater’s owner, becomes the prime suspect, despite strong hints that he may be innocent.
"The trailer for the third episode directly references another of Stephen King’s stories, connecting the worlds in a way that fans will instantly recognize."
The third episode of IT: Welcome to Derry deepens its ties to the Stephen King universe, blending suspense, familiar motifs, and unsettling new twists.
