Welcome to Derry Season 2: What’s Cooking?

Hey there, horror fans! So, have you been stuck in a binge-watching binge since It: Welcome to Derry left you hanging? Well, don’t fret, because I’ve got the juicy scoop on what’s possibly cooking for Season 2 of this spine-chilling delight!

The Show We Can’t Seem to Get Enough Of

So, word on the street is that while the official renewal for Season 2 hasn’t been stapled on yet, it’s practically a done deal. I mean, who wouldn’t want more of those spooky vibes, right? The first season has been raking in views like nobody’s business, averaging a whopping 10.7 million viewers in the U.S. and an insane 18.3 million globally! That’s like having half the world watching clowns and creepy towns!

What’s in Store for Our Favorite Clown?

Now, let’s scratch that itch of curiosity! So what can we expect from Season 2? Well, creator Andy Muschietti has slid some tantalizing tidbits our way. You know that wild, mind-bending twist with Pennywise we all love to be puzzled over? Get ready for it to take center stage again! If you thought you understood Pennywise’s timeline, think again! He’s got a knack for knowing things—like what’s going down with Richie Tozier (who you might remember from the movies played by Finn Wolfhard and Bill Hader) before it even happens!

A Time-Traveling Clown?

That’s right, folks! This season is going to dig deeper into Pennywise’s not-so-linear experience of time. Apparently, he’s been feeding on fear every 27 years, and as Season 1 took us to 1962, buckle up because Season 2 is about to take a massive leap backward in time, diving into another ’27-year adventure! And to keep the excitement bubbling, Season 3 is already lurking around the corner for another time jump!

The King’s Pitch

Buckle up for this—Muschietti’s pitch to Stephen King was literally about telling a story backwards! Talk about a wild ride! We’ll see if Pennywise decides to play around with time like it’s some cosmic playground. And they’re leaving us guessing whether if Pennywise can rewind the timeline or if he’s just hanging out in all timelines at once. Classic clown stuff!

Familiar Faces and New Twists

But hold onto your popcorn! Rumor has it we haven’t seen the last of the original Pennywise—Bob Gray—or his mysterious daughter, Ingrid Kersh. They’re set to pop up again, and we’re looking at a deeper exploration of their background stories. Muschietti hints at Ingrid’s unique, tragic character arc—she’s got a complicated relationship with daddy that’s bound to bring some intriguing drama. She thinks that releasing him from the grip of that monster requires creating chaos. Yup, let’s all note the family bonding moments, right?

Ready for More?

So, if you’re feeling a void in your horror lineup, I highly recommend diving back into all eight episodes of It: Welcome to Derry Season 1 available to stream on HBO Max right now. Who knows? You might catch some clues about what’s heading our way in Season 2. Stay tuned, horror lovers!
