IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 will likely push deeper into the sinister mythology surrounding Pennywise. The penultimate episode of the season will provide answers to several previously unanswered questions regarding the character Pennywise that have developed throughout the first season, and create additional depth and background to his character.
The level of psychological stress that residents of Derry are experiencing and the numerous unexplained visions and traumatic events that many have experienced indicate Pennywise's long-term impact on the people of Derry.
Lilly's escape from Pennywise marked a significant turning point in the narrative of the show. In contrast, the sixth episode raised further questions regarding the very foundations of Derry due to the fact that Pennywise may have deliberately embedded itself into both Derry's fear and its generational behavior through the manipulation of the past.
Trending
The plot of the seventh episode will likely continue this trend as Ingrid begins to develop and believe she may be the daughter of Pennywise. Fans of the show can expect IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 to premiere on December 7, 2025, at 6:00 PM ET.
When does IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 come out?
IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 will release on HBO Max on Sunday, December 7, 2025. It will be available to stream at different times, depending on the viewer's region. Below is a table that outlines the exact release time for the major time zones:
How many episodes of IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 are left?
IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 is set to have a total of eight episodes. With six episodes already released and Episode 7 dropping this Sunday, only one episode remains, with the season finale scheduled for December 14, 2025.
A brief recap of IT: Welcome to Derry season 1 Episode 6
The use of manipulation and cyclical violence in Derry is shown in Episode 6 of IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1. The episode focuses on Will's relationship with his father, Leroy, and how Leroy's anger and grief around his best friend Pauly's death turn to rage and the development of aggressive, controlling behaviours. The episode also marks the moment Charlotte decides to leave Derry without Will, representing the continued disruption in their family.
Hallorann's return from the sewers leaves him traumatized and mentally broken after Pennywise invaded his "mental lockbox". Leroy attempts to manipulate Hallorann into assisting Shaw in creating a new mission to hunt down the creature, despite Hallorann's deteriorating mental condition.
In addition to all that, the episode provides insight into the reality of Mrs. Kersh. Flashbacks to 1935 depict Mrs. Kersh assisting Pennywise in luring children to him based on a delusional belief that Pennywise was her father. In the present, Lilly discovers photographs of Mrs. Kersh in full clown makeup, which provide further evidence of her self-image as "Pennywise's daughter" and that she has been stalking children while dressed as a clown.
Lilly's attachment to the ancestral dagger creates tension in her friendship with Ronnie, who is unwilling to return to the sewers. Elsewhere, Rich and Marge grow closer as the friend group gathers at the Black Spot, where Hank is hiding. Their moment of respite collapses when Bowers and the Maine Legion of White Decency attack the club, setting the stage for a violent confrontation.
Major events to expect from IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 (Speculative)
With Episode 6 revealing that Pennywise was once Mrs. Kersh's father, IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 is set to further explore Derry and Pennywise's origins. Viewers can expect to see more about Pennywise's early life, especially as a circus clown, before he was consumed by IT.
Based on the events from previous episodes, viewers can also expect Dick Hallorann's situation to continue to deteriorate. His mind has literally opened up with the flood of spirits, and the noise from those spirits is growing louder and more intense. This makes it difficult for Hallorann to distinguish between visions and reality, which will raise the stakes for all of the characters as Hallorann's powers shift from beneficial to dangerous.
Bowers and the Maine Legion of White Decency seem prepared to murder Hank and anyone who attempts to protect him from the mob, and since the kids in IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 will be trapped inside and the mob is closing in on them, we can expect an interesting combination of real-life horror and supernatural horror as Derry moves toward yet another tragedy.
IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 7 will premiere on HBO on December 7, 2025.
