HBO will drop Episode 2 of It: Welcome To Derry nearly three days early for Halloween, streaming on HBO Max Friday, Oct. 31, at 12:00am PT/3:00am ET, before its HBO premiere Sunday, Nov. 2, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The early release is a one-off; the eight-episode season resumes Sunday rollouts on HBO and HBO Max through the Dec. 14 finale. Set in Stephen King’s It universe, the series was developed by Andy and Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, with Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise.
