welcome to derry season 2 release date

There is currently no official release date for Welcome to Derry season 2, and the show has not yet been formally renewed for a second season by HBO as of mid‑December 2025.

Current status

  • Season 1 finished airing in December 2025, but HBO has not publicly announced a renewal or cancellation for season 2 yet.
  • Reports and interviews suggest the creative team planned the story as a multi‑season arc, but that is not the same as an official greenlight from the network.

Expected release window (best guesses)

While nothing is confirmed, industry coverage and fan discussions point to an estimated window rather than a fixed date:

  • Season 1 had a long production and post‑production cycle (filming across 2023–2024, premiering October 2025), which makes a quick turnaround unlikely.
  • Trade and fan outlets generally estimate that, if renewed , season 2 would most likely land sometime in 2027 , with many speculating a late‑2027 (fall/Halloween‑season) window to match the horror vibe.

These timelines are speculative and could shift with network decisions, budgets, or company ownership changes.

Story and setting hints for season 2

Even without a release date, there are some solid hints about what season 2 would cover:

  • Creators and coverage indicate season 2 is expected to jump back to the mid‑1930s , during the Depression era in Derry, exploring an earlier Pennywise cycle.
  • Articles and breakdowns point to events like the Bradley Gang massacre as a likely major storyline, tying deeper into Stephen King’s lore.
