The haunting world of IT: Welcome to Derry has already proven itself far darker and more unhinged than fans imagined. And according to its young stars, the horror is only getting started. As the chilling prequel series continues toward its explosive conclusion, the cast promises a finale that will outdo every twist, scare, and nightmare-inducing moment that’s come before it.
Diving deep into the unsettling origins of Pennywise, the shape-shifting entity that terrorized generations in Stephen King’s It, the series has spent its early episodes peeling back the layers of Derry’s cursed history. From unexpected betrayals to gruesome revelations, the first half of the season has set the stage for a finale that aims to push boundaries and expand the lore in ways both terrifying and profoundly meaningful.
In a recent conversation with Collider, Clara Stack, who plays Lilly, joined co-stars Amanda Christine and Matilda Lawler to discuss just how shocking the final episodes truly are.
“Honestly, reading the scripts, it was just shock after shock after shock. There are so many plot twists within this series that I think are really going to shock the audience. They’re really relevant to the plot and really surprising. And there are so many incredible, horrific, and tense sequences throughout this series”. Her excitement didn’t stop there.
“I think people watching are just going to be really terrified and really shocked. I’m super excited for everyone to see all the work that we put into it” Stack revealed.
Lawler echoed her co-star’s enthusiasm, teasing that longtime It fans are in for a massive payoff!
“I’m excited for people to see the ways that the last few episodes of the series go further into the origins of the entity and connect to both the movies more deeply”.
Christine also emphasized that the ending will serve as a bridge between books, films, and brand-new storytelling. “The last episodes dive into the origin story, and they get into the books and the movies. So, just stay tuned for everything to come”.
With the season finale set to air on December 14th, 2025, the countdown has officially begun. If the cast’s bold promises are any indication, It: Welcome to Derry is gearing up to deliver a climax so chilling that even the most seasoned horror fans will be left breathless. Nonetheless, Pennywise’s story is far from over! The horrors of Derry are only just beginning.
