Season 5, Episode 77: Interview with Clara Stack (Lilly Bainbridge) from “IT: Welcome to Derry” (2025)

After watching the series (so far), I’d like to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and I am highly impressed with the acting. This fully embraces the fantastical scenes and effects for those horror and monster moments. However, one character really stands out, and that is Lilly Bainbridge – portrayed by the talented Clara Stack and her performance has been nothing short of paramount. If I said it was an honor and pleasure speaking with Clara, that would be an understatement. To sit down and get to know Clara and what it was like to play an exceptionally well-rounded character, these are the moments that are priceless.Getting to know Clara’s character, Lilly, who we all see rides an emotional roller coaster throughout the season, tells us that there is more than what we expected. I am certain, if there is going to be a Season 2, that Lilly will be one of the few that gets to kick Pennywise’s butt. However, with this being the prequel to the “It” movies, who knows what will happen during the inception. It: Welcome to Derry is still streaming on HBO Max (I realize that I said Netflix during the interview) and I am wrong, clearly, I got the streaming services mixed up. I highly recommend watching the series. It 100% grabs the essence of the era of the beginning.
