Will There Be 'It: Welcome To Derry' Season 2? Would It Unveil Origins Of Neibolt House? Find Out

As It: Welcome To Derry Season 1 comes to an end, fans are already looking ahead to what might come next. The HBO prequel series has reignited interest in the dark mythology of 'Derry', 'Maine', and the chilling origins of 'Pennywise'. Since the new season has finally ended after weeks of tension and shocking twists, the questions about a potential second season have taken over the internet. Although HDO has made no announcement, the future of the series appears far from over.

Will It: Welcome to Derry be renewed for Season 2?

Until December 2025, HBO has not officially renewed It: Welcome To Derry for a second season. However, the show creators, Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, have already expressed their long-term plan. In several interviews, the duo has clarified that the series was conceived as a multi-season prequel, not a single-season series with a a limited run.

Industry insiders have noted that the show has strong viewership numbers and a largely positive reaction. The positive review has significantly improved its chances of a renewal. According to reports, HBO is closely monitoring audience engagement and completion rates of the show to make a final decision. However, due to the success of recent It films and the continued popularity of Stephen King adaptations, several viewers believe that a Season 2 might soon be announced.

Will It: Welcome to Derry feature the origins of Neibolt house? 

Yes, if the show is renewed for a second season, it is expected to go deeper into the history and origins of the Neibolt House, which serves as a gateway to 'Pennywise's lair. Although the first season features the Neibolt House as a key location, the creators confirmed that a potential second season would be set in 1935 and would explore: Who originally built the house and why it became abandoned and a site of evil. However, the primary storyline for the second season would focus on the "Bradley Gang," a group of bank robbers who get entangled with the town of Derry and "It" during the Great Depression, with Neibolt House integrated in it.

How many seasons would It: Welcome To Derry have?

The creators of It: Welcome to Derry have outlined an ambitious three-season plan designed to explore Pennywise's feeding cycles across different eras of Derry's history. Unlike most of the series, It: Welcome to Derry was structured to move backward in time, following the lore established in Stephen King's original novel. The current season 1 focuses on the events of the early 1960s, setting the stage for the events that eventually led to the story of the Losers' Club in the 1980s. 

If season 2 gets renewed, it is expected to jump back in 1935 around the infamous Bradley Gang massacre, a key historical tragedy referenced in the book. On the other hand, Season 2 would explore the year 1908 and the Kitchener Ironworks explosion, one of the deadliest events in Derry's past and a significant period of growth for Pennywise. Due to these large time jumps, it is likely that most of the cast will be changed between seasons. However, Bill Skarsgård is widely expected to continue as 'Pennywise', anchoring the series across timelines.
