IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 3 Trailer Connects to Another Stephen King Book

Andy and Barbara Muschietti’s IT: Welcome to Derry serves as an IP-driven prequel that is proving to be one of the most successful adaptations of Stephen King's IT series. So far, two episodes of this horror thriller have been released, both receiving generally positive reviews.

The third episode is scheduled for release on November 9, returning to its regular release schedule following a special Halloween launch. A recently released trailer for this episode reveals not only horror elements but also a unique connection to another Stephen King adaptation.

Stephen King Easter Eggs in the Series

IT: Welcome to Derry features multiple references to other Stephen King universes. For example, the original series trailer included Easter eggs like a Shawshank State Prison bus and a nod to the character Dick Halloran. The new trailer for episode three explicitly references one of these connections.

Plot Recap

The first two episodes focused on the mysterious deaths of three children caused by a mutant baby in a local theater. Hank Grogan, the theater’s owner, is wrongly accused and arrested for these killings.

"IT: Welcome to Derry is reported to have more than a few callbacks to other Stephen King worlds."

This blend of horror storytelling with subtle cross-references enhances the intrigue for fans familiar with King’s wider literary universe.
