Stephen King Wants Paramount+ To Renew EVIL and So Do I
Paramount+’s horror series Evil was such a well-made and incredibly entertaining show! I loved every freakin’ minute of that series!
It was so different and unique from any horror project I’ve ever seen before and I loved the characters that it introduced us to and all of the story that it told.
This series had great world-building and the supernatural/horror element of it was handled perfectly. Then, of course, there was this extremely fun humor aspect to the whole thing that worked so well.
The series was dark, twisted, creepy, dramatic and funny. It perfectly mixed all of these elements together and the end result was an awesomely fun series! Everyone I know who has watched this series has loved it and if you’ve never seen it, you’ve got to jump in it!
Stephen King was a huge fan of the series as well, and he recently took to X to campaign for the series to continue. He wrote: “Dear Paramount+: More EVIL Please.”
When the final season was announced, Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of programming at Paramount+, said: "Robert and Michelle King created a unique and deeply entertaining way of exploring the intersection of religion and science.
“We thank Robert, Michelle and the immensely talented cast and crew of Evil and are incredibly proud of their collective work on the series. We can't wait to see what's in store for these characters, in what is sure to be a nail-biting, wild ride of a final season."
David Stapf, President of CBS Studios added: "It's hard to underscore the ability of Robert and Michelle King to cleverly craft thought-provoking stories that push creative boundaries time and time again, and Evil is no exception.
“We're proud to call them partners, and want to thank them both, Liz Glotzer, the entire cast and the crew for bringing these complex characters to life year after year as we celebrate this final season of Evil."
In Evil: “Skeptical psychologist Kristen Bouchard joins David Acosta, who is training to be a Catholic priest, and a blue collar contractor as they investigate the church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and other extraordinary occurrences.
“Their job is to assess if there’s a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work, examining the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion.”
The series stars Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Andrea Martin, Kurt Fuller, Christine Lahti, Brooklyn Shuck, Skylar Gray, Maddy Crocco and Dalya Knapp.
