The previous episode of IT: Welcome to Derry got right into the big shocker at the end of the series premiere. It was a jaw-dropping moment since it looked like these were supposed to be the stars of the show. The only ones who survived were Lilly Bainbridge and Ronnie Grogan. Sadly, Lilly was tricked into saying that Ronnie’s father was involved. All Ronnie could do was scream as the police arrested her dad.

The mystery behind Leroy Hanlon’s beating is explained, and it wasn’t shocking that it was planned to see if Hanlon could keep military secrets under extreme pressure. However, General Francis Shaw says that things weren’t supposed to escalate. Now that Hanlon is trusted, the general brings him into the secret area of the base and explains what’s happening.

The military is looking for a weapon buried in Derry that will stop a nuclear attack before a missile is launched. The weapon in question uses fear. After seeing the car with the creepy family is unearthed (and everyone looks to have been dead for a while), fans can guess that the weapon involves Pennywise.

IT: Welcome to Derry season 1 episode 3 release time on HBO Max

IT: Welcome to Derry season 1 episode 3, titled “Now You See It”, is set to premiere on both HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, November 9, at 9:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. PT, 7:00 p.m. CT, and 8:00 p.m. MT.

For the previous week, HBO Max broke away from its traditional plans and released the second episode of IT: Welcome to Derry on Halloween. It may have thrown some people off, but it was still a great idea. People love watching scary things on Halloween, and IT: Welcome to Derry is a terrifying project. It also aired in its regular timeslot on HBO, so fans who enjoyed the linear airing could still watch that. This week, things are back to normal.

The new episode of the spinoff of the Stephen King classic will also be available to stream on the platform in areas outside of the US simultaneously. Meanwhile, those watching in the UK can watch new episodes via Sky, with new episodes airing at 2:00 a.m. GMT.

What to expect in IT: Welcome To Derry episode 3

The preview for the next episode shows that it will be key to the rest of the season. Apparently, Dick Hallorann has psychic abilities, and they’ll be used on their mission. Also, since Leroy Hanlon’s brain injury was mentioned, we could see that it prevents him from the effects of Pennywise’s psychic attacks. Since the last image in the trailer is the yellow eyes of Pennywise, we’ll see how true that is. But it

We also see that Lilly, Ronnie, and Leroy’s son Will are going to try and prove Ronnie’s dad’s innocence. To do that, they need evidence. The kids are going to try and get pictures of the giant, flying, demon baby, but I think this will lead them directly to Hallorann and Hanlon. Stay tuned to Bam Smack Pow to see if that happens.
