What Is ‘Evil’ About?
Evil offers a unique perspective on the horror genre, tackling sensitive subjects like religion, racism, and politics. The show features a talented cast, including standout performances from Katja Herbers and Michael Emerson.
The series has expertly examined the root of its deadly title word while also being an entertaining love letter to the classics of the genre. The Paramount+ series extra-long final season comes to an end later this week, and its final trailer previews one last spooky test that lies ahead for TV’s favorite paranormal trio.
The promo previews a countdown for the now-defunct Catholic Church assessor program. That would be the pending death of our main lead, Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers). Her children, with the use of VR, have seemingly been able to see into the future, and they warn Kristen, David (Mike Colter), and Ben (Aasif Mandvi) that they have 24 hours to save the former before the main antagonist, Leland Townsend (Michael Emerson), murders her in their house. However, it’s never that straightforward in this show, with David investigating the fortune-telling VR headset himself.
Other quick teases in the new footage include Leland being pressured to kill Kristen, Sister Andrea (Andrea Martin) coming face-to-face with the head demon, and our heroic team kidnapping Leland. It sets up one crazy final episode. Given Evil’s sinister track record, especially this season, expect the unexpected and say your prayers because the “Evil” that has been looming over New York City for the entire series is finally here.
Will There Be An ‘Evil’ Season 5?
As of right now, Season 4 is it for Evil. Paramount canceled the series earlier this year to the disheart of many, but the streamer did give the last season four extra episodes to tie up all the storylines. Both the cast and creators, Robert and Michelle King, have been very vocal online about wanting to do more seasons. Evil has been doing very well on Paramount+, its exclusive home for new episodes. However, its success was boosted this year when the first two seasons of the series became available to watch on Netflix. Whether they or another streamer like Hulu picks them up remains to be seen. As fans prepare for the final episode, you can catch up on all four seasons of the show on Paramount +.
Evil’s series finale debuts on Paramount+ on Thursday, August 22. The full trailer can be viewed above.
