It: Welcome to Derry’ Finale Deepens Mythology as Creators Outline Reverse Three-Season Plan

The closed-out first season adds a time-bending wrinkle to the lore that more tightly links the prequel to the films.

Overview

  • Season 1 concluded on Dec. 14 with an episode that directly connects the series to the 2017 and 2019 features.
  • Co-creator Andy Muschietti says the creative roadmap spans three seasons told backward across 1962, 1935 and 1908.
  • HBO has not announced a season two order despite the multi-season blueprint described by the creators.
  • Critics are examining the finale’s new canon element and its implications for how the franchise’s timeline is understood.
  • Bill Skarsgård earned strong praise, and producers note his Pennywise prosthetics require roughly 3.5 to 4 hours each day.
