It: Welcome to Derry release schedule – when is episode 3 released?
The secret history of Pennywise the Clown comes to light in Sky and NOW's sci-fi horror.
Long-awaited Stephen King spin-off It: Welcome to Derry is getting into its stride, returning viewers to the fictional American town of Derry, which is plagued by the malevolent entity best known as Pennywise the Clown (Bill Skarsgård).
Halloween might be over, but the scares continue as we await Pennywise's final form. In the mean time, though, he's terrorising the children of Derry with their worst nightmares as they attempt to figure out what's happened to their missing classmate Matty.
The series, which is set 27 years before the events of It: Chapter One, has already terrified and delighted viewers with its body horror, and its unique take on the King story.
But what's next? Here's everything you need to know about when episode 3 is released.
When is It: Welcome to Derry episode 3 released?
It: Welcome to Derry episode 3 will be released on Monday 10th November in the UK (Sunday 9th November in the US).
The next chapter, titled Now You See It, will first broadcast at 2am on Sky Atlantic, before a repeat later that day at the more reasonable time of 9pm. Alternatively, stream at your convenience on NOW.
The upcoming episode is written by Guadalis Del Carmen & Gabe Hobson and directed by Andy Muschietti.
How many episodes are in It: Welcome to Derry?
It: Welcome to Derry will consist of eight episodes initially.
However, co-creator Andy Muschietti has teased that their could be multiple future seasons of the horror series, telling Deadline that "there is an intentional bigger arc that will open".
"My intention with this was to create a story that is a little bit like an iceberg under the water all through seasons 1, 2 and 3. There will be an expansion in the mythology and more answers to the big questions."
It's thought that each season of the show will go further back in time each season, to show the origins of Pennywise's reign of terror.
