Paramount+ has recently announced that the popular series 'Evil' will be coming to an end with its upcoming Season 4. Although the show was renewed for a fourth season in June 2022, it was not initially reported that it would be the final season. However, fans can expect new episodes of the gripping psychological mystery to debut in May on Paramount+.
To make the farewell season even more special, Paramount+ has ordered four bonus episodes to complement the season. Production for these new episodes will commence in New York City in the coming weeks. 'Evil' creators, showrunners, and executive producers Robert and Michelle King expressed their gratitude to Paramount+ for allowing them to conclude the series in style with these bonus episodes. They also shared their appreciation for the show and its talented cast, stating, 'In many ways it was a dream project, but sadly evil will outlast 'Evil'. See you in May.'
Originally premiering on CBS in 2019, 'Evil' gained a dedicated following before transitioning to Paramount+ for its second season. Season 2 aired in 2021, followed by Season 3 in 2022. The series skillfully explores the intersection of religion and science while delving into the origins of evil. Its thought-provoking storytelling captivated audiences, leaving them eagerly awaiting each new season.
Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of Programming at Paramount+, commended the creators and cast of 'Evil' for their exceptional work on the series. Grossman praised the Kings' ability to craft engaging narratives that push creative boundaries and emphasized the excitement surrounding the final season. He expressed his anticipation for the nail-biting and wild ride that awaits viewers.
The ensemble cast of 'Evil' comprises talented actors such as Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Andrea Martin, Kurt Fuller, Christine Lahti, Brooklyn Shuck, Skylar Gray, Maddy Crocco, and Dalya Knapp. Their performances have played a significant role in bringing the complex characters to life and have contributed to the show's success.
David Stapf, President of CBS Studios, also joined in celebrating the final season of 'Evil' and praised the creative collaboration with the Kings and Liz Glotzer, the executive producer. Stapf acknowledged the show's ability to tackle profound themes, commending how it explores the intricate relationship between science and religion. He thanked the entire cast and crew for their dedication in portraying these complex characters.
In addition to the Kings, Glotzer, Rockne S. O'Bannon, and Sam Hoffman also serve as executive producers of the series. The Kings and Glotzer are associated with King Size Productions, which has an overall deal at CBS Studios. CBS Studios is responsible for producing the show, while Paramount Global Content Distribution handles international distribution.
While bidding farewell to 'Evil,' fans can look forward to the Kings' upcoming CBS drama series, 'Elsbeth.' This spinoff of their successful show 'The Good Wife' features Carrie Preston reprising her role as Elsbeth Tascioni. It seems the Kings' creativity knows no bounds, and viewers can anticipate another compelling series from this talented duo.
It is worth noting that 'Evil' is not the only former CBS series to announce its final season on Paramount+. 'SEAL Team,' a thrilling military drama, also revealed that its seventh season would be its last in November. As the streaming platform continues to evolve, we can expect more exciting content and conclusions in the future.
In May, fans of 'Evil' will once again immerse themselves in a world that challenges their perceptions of good and evil. As the final season approaches, viewers can prepare themselves for a captivating and unforgettable ending to this unique and intriguing series.
