HBO’s new prequel has arrived Stephen KingThe chilling universe of is still made up of only two episodes Barbara Muschietti AND Andy Muschietti they’re already teasing that the ending will be an emotional gut punch, and there’s more beneath the surface than meets the eye.

When speaking to Collider, Barbara didn’t mince words about what will happen, saying the ending will leave viewers “destroyed.” Andy added that the conclusion will bring with it a strong sense of closure.

“There’s a sense of closure. Of course, everyone who knows the movie knows that he’s alive in 1989, but there’s a catch. There’s something that happens and it’s related to why we’re telling the story backwards.”

The idea of ​​the story being told backwards raises all sorts of questions about how the events of the show connect to the two It films. If Pennywise is still alive decades later, what exactly happens in 1962 that sets the stage for the horrors to come?

Andy offered a small but chilling clue.

“Nothing is as it seems in this world, let’s put it that way. I can’t be too clear about that.”

This cryptic warning fits the twisted logic of Derry, which is a place where nightmares seep into reality and nothing stays buried for long.

Set in 1962, En: Welcome to Derry follows a new group of kids who become trapped in one of Pennywise’s first cycles of terror. The first two episodes have already provided plenty of disturbing imagery and emotional chaos, suggesting that things will only intensify as the story unfolds.

With eight episodes planned, the series looks poised to expand the IT mythology in disturbing and fantastical new ways. Judging by the indications of Muschietti, Welcome to Derry is preparing us for something devastating, revelatory, and connected to why Pennywise’s evil never truly dies.
