Season 1 of HBO Max’s It prequel series dances its way onto 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 5, 2026. Preorders for the It: Welcome to Derry Limited Edition Steelbook sold out within an hour at Amazon, but you can still secure a copy for $40 at Gruv. We also expect Walmart to open preorders soon. If you’re a Stephen King fan, it’d probably be wise to preorder ASAP. Steelbook Editions of the two-part It film adaptation sold out fast, and Welcome to Derry is the first TV series based on a Stephen King novel to get a 4K Blu-ray edition. At this time, the Limited Edition Steelbook is the only way to get the series on 4K Blu-ray.
Welcome to Derry: Season 1 is available to stream in full on HBO Max. Alternatively, you can buy Season 1 on other streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video for $22.
Welcome to Derry holds an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I think many longtime fans of King’s legendary horror novel would say Season 1 was pretty great. HBO has yet to renew the series for a second season, but director Andy Muschietti has a three-season arc in mind. Season 1 tells the story of Pennywise’s reign of terror in 1962. Season 2 would rewind the clock 27 years to Pennywise’s previous feeding cycle in 1935, and Season 3 would be set in 1908.

The four-disc set includes all eight episodes from Season 1 of Welcome to Derry on 4K Blu-ray. The front cover of the steelbook case features Bill Skarsgård’s terrifying Pennywise smiling menacingly with a signature red balloon obscuring half of his face. The back cover shows the Losers’ Club at the entrance to the sewers, and the interior artwork features the kids in the sewers beneath Derry.
Inside the steelbook case, you’ll find six art cards with 1960s-style promotional artwork for the town of Derry. The art cards make Derry look like a great place to raise a family!
Season 1’s eight episodes have a total runtime of 5 hours and 51 minutes, but the physical edition release also comes with roughly 2.5 hours of bonus features:
