WhileEvilseason 5 still doesn’t appear to be on the horizon, there’sanother fantastic ongoing horror TV show that will help fill the gap left by the Paramount+ series’ cancelation. After debuting on CBS in 2019 and soon moving to Paramount+ for streaming releases,Evilwas canceled after four seasonsin 2024. Given the show consistently maintained impressive critical acclaim and a strong fanbase, with season 4 even receiving a “Certified Fresh” 100% Rotten Tomatoes score,Evil’s early ending came as a big shock.
Though almost a year has passed sinceEvil’s cancelation, the cast, crew, and fans haven’t stopped lobbying for the series to be revived by Paramount+or picked up for more episodes by another network. The show’s creators even revealed that they had aplan worked out forEvilseason 5’s story, and there’s still hope that this narrative may eventually be put on the small screen. However, in the meantime, the absence ofEvilmay inspire fans to find similar, captivating supernatural horror shows that don’t present the risk of another unexpected cancelation. Thankfully, MGM+’sFromprovides a great solution.
From Is Another Critically Acclaimed, Twisty Horror Show Like Evil
From Debuted In 2022 To Critical Acclaim
The 2022-debuting horror showFromfeatures many of the same elements that makeEvilsuch a compelling series. LikeEvil,Fromcomes with numerous twists and horrors that are confronted by an ensemble of characters from very different backgrounds and walks of life, who were some way or another brought together to face the same evils. Of course, whileEviltakes an investigative and religious angle to the supernatural horrors at stake, the characters inFromdidn’t have any choice in the threats that terrorize them.
Fromis centered around a mysterious town in Middle America that traps people who drive into it, though each vehicle enters from a different location in the country. In the town, human-looking nocturnal creatures hunt the residents at night, with visions, mysterious voices, and other supernatural horrors plaguing them throughout the day. As they attempt to figure out how to combat these evils, discover the true nature of the town, and search for a way back home,From’s charactersalso find that their arrival was no random occurrence, and their connections are much deeper than they ever could have imagined.

BothFromandEvilhave captivating original horror premises, and the novel approaches to their stories pay off with substantial acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Overall,Fromboasts a 96% score from critics onRotten Tomatoes, which is exactly the same weighted score thatEvilholds for its acclaimed four-season series. Additionally, the more the shows progress and find their footing, the greater their critical responses have become.Fromseason 3 achieved a series-high 100% rating, withEvilseasons 3 and 4 similarly boasting the show’s highest acclaim with respective 100% scores.
From Is Set Up To Avoid Evil’s Disappointing Early Cancelation
From Is One Of MGM+’s Most Popular Titles
After beingdisappointed by the decision to cancelEvilearly,it would make sense for some fans to be skeptical about starting a new twist-filled show. It’s reasonable to ask, “What’s the point in becoming invested in another multi-season series with plenty of mysteries and twists when it might just get canceled, and those mysteries are never solved?” However, that doesn’t seem to be a likely future forFrom, which has been gaining more traction over time, especially with support and praise from horror icons like Stephen King.
Fromseason 4 was officially renewed by MGM+ on June 06, 2025.
WhenFromwas renewed for season 4, it was promoted as the “beginning of the end.” If the “end of the beginning” wasFromseason 3’s ending, then that might indicate that the show could receive another three seasons in order to properly conclude the story. Three seasons could potentially be a stretch ifFromhas already answered some major mysteries, such as what happened to the “Anghkooey” kids, how the monsters were created, and some characters' deeper connections to Fromville, butthere’s still plenty more to explore before it will feel likeFromhas reached a satisfying conclusion.
Evil Series Finale Ending Explained
Evil’s series finale concludes the fan-favorite horror show in a clever fashion, but leaves enough open-ended elements for a potential return.
The idea thatFromcould be canceled before its story is sufficiently told alsoseems unlikely due to the fact that it’s one of MGM+’s most popular titles. With four seasons now confirmed,Fromhas tied the record for MGM+’s longest-running original TV show, withGodfather of Harlemalso being renewed for a fourth outing. Given the continued popularity ofFromunder the MGM+ label, the streaming service will likely be eager to maintain its success with additional seasons, as it also provides an additional incentive for viewers to keep their subscriptions.
From & Evil’s Cast & Themes Both Fulfill The Desire For More TV Shows Like Lost
Both Shows Feature Some Iconic Lost Actors
Another fun quirk that tiesFromandEviltogether is theoverlap of their cast and themes with ABC’s hit sci-fi dramaLost. LikeFrombeing led byLost’s Michael Dawson actor Harold Perrineau,Evil’s cast of charactersfeaturesLost’s Ben Linus actor Michael Emerson. Additionally, there are plenty of flawed yet heroic similarities between Perrineau’s Michael Dawson and Boyd Stevens, as well as similarly compelling antagonistic twists between Emerson’s Ben Linus and Dr. Leland Townsend. BothEvilandFromcontain comparable supernatural mysteries and existential themes to those that definedLost, but with darker horror angles.
