Harold Perrineau is set to lead Epix’s contemporary sci-fi horror series From.
John Griffin created the series which unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town. It is located in the middle of America and it traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.
