Watch The IT: Welcome to Derry Podcast

It's the season finale, and this episode is full of incredible guests. Andy and Barbara Muschietti (executive producers) walk us through crafting an ending that's cosmic, chaotic, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Then, the entire Losers Club (Arian S. Cartaya, Matilda Lawler, Amanda Christine, Clara Stack, and Blake James) joins the podcast to reflect on filming the finale, the bonds forged on set, and what their characters face in these final moments. Finally, Bill Skarsgård, joined by Andy Muschietti, steps in to break down his return as Pennywise, the evolution of the character, and the challenge of balancing terror, humor, and tragedy in his most unhinged scenes yet.

Andy and Barbara Muschietti (executive producers) return to guide Marc and Princess through the penultimate chapter of the season. They unpack the episode's sweeping emotional turns, from Pennywise's chilling origin story to the devastating fall of the Black Spot, and how these moments reshape the mythology of Derry.

Stephen Rider (Hank Grogan) joins Marc and Princess to unpack Episode Six, exploring courage, loneliness, and the complicated love between fathers and children. Together, they trace Hank's journey through Derry's darkness and the quiet strength behind his performance. Then, Oscar-nominated costume designer Luis Sequeira (The Shape of Water, Nightmare Alley) steps in to reveal how silhouettes, textures, and stains make Welcome to Derry feel timeless and just a little off.

Taylour Paige (Charlotte Hanlon) joins Princess to unpack Episode Five, exploring Charlotte's strength, grief, and the impossible choices she faces as Derry descends into chaos. Then, Marc sits down with Jovan Adepo (Leroy Hanlon) and Princess with Rudy Mancuso (Pauly Russo) to talk about brotherhood, bravery, and the sacrifices made in the tunnels beneath Derry. Together, they reflect on the heart at the center of the horror and what it means to face the darkness—and each other—head-on.

Chris Chalk (Dick Hallorann) joins Marc and Princess to unpack Episode Four, diving deep into Hallorann's evolution as a reluctant seer and what it was like to step into such an iconic role. Then, John Bear Mitchell (historical consultant) shares how the creative team built the world of Derry on authentic Indigenous history, weaving the land's real ancestral stories into the show's mythology. We learn how themes of colonization, encroachment, and memory shaped Episode Four's haunting backstory and why honoring the land's spirit was essential to telling this tale right.

Jason Fuchs (co-showrunner, executive producer, writer) and Brad Caleb Kane (co-showrunner, executive producer, writer) join Marc and Princess to unpack Episode Three and the generational horror that shapes Derry's past and present. They explore how the town itself becomes an accomplice to evil - through memory, forgetting, and the land beneath it - and how those themes connect to Dick Hallorann's power. Then, actor Kimberly Guerrero joins the show to discuss her portrayal of Rose and reclaiming Indigenous narratives.

Andy Muschietti (executive producer, director) and Barbara Muschietti (executive producer) return to unpack Episode Two, from Charlotte Hanlon's introduction to the show's evolving themes of fear, family, and belonging. And, of course, we break down those two unforgettable scare sequences, Juniper Hill, and Dick Hallorann's importance to Derry. Then, one of the series concept artists, Vincent Proce, joins Marc and Princess to reveal how some of Derry's nightmarish monsters take shape.

Hosts Marc Bernardin and Princess Weekes debrief Episode One: from Cold War dread and small-town rot, to why The Music Man is the perfect needle-drop for a town with secrets. Then, executive producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti, with Andy in the director's chair for this episode, join us to discuss origin stories, how It: Welcome to Derry evolved from the It films into an eight-episode series, the concept of a 27-year cycle, creating new characters and terrors, and how they balance providing answers with the power of the unknown.
