IT: Welcome to Derry keeps raising the chills every week, and Episode 3, “Now You See It,” might just be the creepiest yet. This one dives deep into the town’s past, showing how Pennywise’s evil has been around longer than anyone thought.
If you have been wondering who’s who in this episode, from the new faces to the returning ones, we have got you. Here’s a full rundown of IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 3’s cast and the characters who make this eerie story come alive.
When the fear begins: A quick recap of Episode 3 “Now You See It”
Episode 3 of IT: Welcome to Derry throws us back in time to 1908, following young Francis Shaw, whose first encounter with fear at a carnival sets the tone for the whole story. We see how a simple slingshot, a childhood keepsake, ends up tied to something much darker, a force lurking in Derry’s woods.
Years later, Francis, now General Shaw, returns to town with the U.S. Army to hunt down what he once faced as a boy. But in Derry, the past never really stays buried. Meanwhile, the kids, Lilly, Will, Ronnie, and Rich, step right into the heart of the horror. Their plan to summon “it” turns into a total nightmare when Pennywise’s ghostly tricks start messing with them in a graveyard.
Between candlelit chaos, flickering shadows, and jump scares, they barely make it out alive. Still, the real scare comes later when we realize the monster isn’t gone but is just waiting. Even though the visuals fumble a bit during the climax, that last shot of Pennywise lurking in the dark? Pure nightmare fuel. IT: Welcome to Derry keeps proving that no one truly escapes this town’s curse.
