The finale of It: Welcome to Derry was wild. Pennywise jumping through time? Nobody expected that twist. The show connected past and future victims in ways that made sense but also created a bunch of new puzzles. Discovering that Marge later becomes Richie Tozier's mom completely changes how we view the Losers Club's backstory. The big fight didn't feel like a real ending.
It was more like hitting pause before things get worse. Pennywise shedding his skin and turning into those glowing Deadlights was creepy as hell. Where did he go after floating away? That's what everyone wants to know. The extra scene with Mrs. Kersh and the setup for Beverly Marsh's horrible past made it obvious there's way more story to tell. All these unfinished plot points practically beg for another season. If it comes back, these five questions must be answered because fans are dying to know what happens next.
Can Pennywise actually die in It: Welcome to Derry?
The ritual with the dagger initially appeared to be successful. Pennywise was burning and screaming, as if he were on the verge of defeat. But then he just changed into pure energy and bounced. This thing has been around Derry for centuries, always finding loopholes to stick around. Maybe death doesn't work the same way for something that came from outside our universe. He's not like regular monsters; you can just stab or shoot.
A new season could reveal what he truly is and whether there's a permanent way to get rid of him. The Losers Club thought they killed him in the future, but clearly that didn't stick. So what would it actually take? That's worth exploring because right now it seems like fighting Pennywise is pretty pointless if he keeps coming back in different forms.
How far back can the Clown travel in It: Welcome to Derry?
Time travel makes Pennywise's way scarier than before. It: Welcome to Derry revealed that he went to the 1960s to kill off the Losers Club's parents before they had kids. Brilliant plan, honestly. But can he go back further than that? Could he mess with Derry's entire history if he wanted to? What if he went back a hundred years and changed everything from the start? Marge was right to worry about him targeting earlier generations.
The show needs to explain the rules here because otherwise, it gets confusing really fast. Can he only jump to specific points, or is all of history fair game? Does it drain his power to do it? These details matter because unlimited time travel renders any victory against him temporary and somewhat meaningless.
What role does the Hanlon family play going forward in It: Welcome to Derry?
Leroy and Charlotte taking over Rose's farm sets the stage for something important later. This explains how Mike Hanlon becomes so profoundly connected to Derry's secrets in the original story. But what are they actually protecting during those 27 years before Pennywise wakes up again? It: Welcome to Derry hinted that other weird stuff happens in town besides the clown.
They may face different threats. Their bravery and knowledge about the artifacts make them perfect for the job. Another season should show what kind of supernatural nonsense they encounter while keeping watch. The jump from military officer to farmer with a crutch guarding mysterious property is a big one. That transition deserves proper screen time, rather than just being background information that we piece together later.
Is Mrs. Kersh More Than Human Now?
Mrs. Kersh waiting 26 years while painting Pennywise obsessively is incredibly messed up. Those Deadlights did something to her brain that regular therapy can't fix. She's stuck at Juniper Hill, acting like she's waiting for her dad to come home, except her dad was eaten by the monster ages ago. Showing up right when Beverly's mom dies can't be a random chance. Did Pennywise plant part of himself inside her when she looked into the Deadlights?
That would explain how she becomes the creepy old lady from the movies who freaks Beverly out so severely. Season two could reveal that she's essentially a sleeper agent for the clown, remaining active even while he's dormant. That's a terrifying idea because it means he's never really gone, just working through other people.
What happened to Dick Hallorann in It: Welcome to Derry?
Dick going to the Overlook Hotel ties everything to The Shining, which is both cool and worrying. His psychic powers helped him defeat Pennywise, but using them clearly took a mental toll on him. That tea Rose gave him helped quiet the voices for a while. But the Overlook?
That place eats people like him for breakfast. All those ghosts and evil spirits love targeting folks with the Shine. Will his experience fighting a cosmic horror prepare him for a haunted hotel, or is he walking into something worse? His story needs closure, even if he's no longer a main character. After everything he sacrificed to save those kids, viewers want to know if he makes it out okay or if the Overlook destroys him as it does to so many others.

Beverly's upcoming storyline looks like it'll tackle some really heavy stuff about abuse and trauma. Seeing how everyone connects across different time periods makes the whole thing feel epic in It: Welcome to Derry.
