Paramount+ has decided to bring the curtains down on the psychological mystery drama “Evil,” announcing that the upcoming fourth season will be its last. However, fans need not despair entirely as the streaming service has ordered four additional episodes to give the show a proper send-off. Creators Robert and Michelle King will have the opportunity to wrap up the storyline, with the final season set to premiere in May.

The decision to conclude the series was met with gratitude from the Kings, who also serve as showrunners. In a statement, they expressed appreciation to Paramount+ for allowing them to end “Evil” in style. Acknowledging the bittersweet nature of bidding farewell to the show and its cast, they noted that while the project was a dream in many ways, the concept of evil itself would continue beyond the series’ conclusion.
“Evil,” which explores the origins of evil at the intersection of science and religion, has garnered praise for its thought-provoking narratives and complex characters. The series features a talented ensemble cast including Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, and others.
Filming for the bonus episodes is set to begin soon in New York City, providing fans with a glimpse into the continuing adventures of the show’s characters. The teaser trailer released by Paramount+ offers a tantalizing preview of what’s to come, hinting at a thrilling and mysterious final season.
