While It: Welcome to Derry season 2 hasn't been confirmed yet, fans are wondering if we might not have seen the last of the Bainbridge family.

Welcome to Derry is working backwards, with the first series set in the '60s, and the next series due to be set 27 years earlier in 1935. It will cover the Bradley Gang Massacre, a deadly shootout in Derry that was teased in season 1 when the army uncovered the victims' cars.

Judging by a new deleted scene shared by Terri Bainbridge actor Alixandra Fuchs, we might be seeing more of her character – mother of Lily Bainbridge, one of the kids in season 1's Losers' Club – in the next season.

Season 2 will be set in 1935, which is a few years after Prohibition ended – though the Bradley Gang in the show could end up being former bootleggers. Terri, then, could be referring to the Massacre, which, in the book, features Pennywise gunning down some gangsters himself.

Now, whether Terri shows up again in season 2 remains to be seen. Andy Muschietti has already confirmed that younger versions of season 1 characters will be in the show, though, so it seems possible.

"Lily’s mother, Teresa Bainbridge will play a significant role in Season two that is set 27 years prior to 1962, she was Lily's age at the time of the Bradley Gang Massacre," speculates the person who shared Fuch's clip.

"Guys I'm still not over this it's like 1000000000% confirmed we get Terri in season 2 now. Right," wonders another fan.

"Lilly survived, big P will go after her parents," predicts someone else. We saw in the season 1 finale that Pennywise is aware of his future death, after he threatened to kill Marge Truman – the future Maggie Tozier, mother of Richie Tozier – to prevent Richie from being born (we might not have heard the last of Richie, either).

So far, it's all speculation, as Welcome to Derry season 2 hasn't even been officially greenlit yet. We'll just have to be patient a little while longer.
