Sinister Producers React To Series Finale & Guarantee Fans More Episodes

The creators of Evil, Robert and Michelle King, responded to the news that the show would end after season 4. Paramount+'s paranormal mystery series originally aired on CBS before moving to the streaming platform in 2021. Despite the show's cancellation, fans were given some good news - the final season will include four extra episodes, making it a total of 14 episodes.

In a recent interview on TV's Top 5 podcast, the Kings shared their plans for wrapping up the series. They see the additional episodes as a mini season 5, providing fans with closure. Paramount+ extended the episode count to allow the show to conclude in a way that respects its legacy.

Katja Herbers, who plays the evil star on the show, expressed her disappointment over Paramount+ canceling the series after season 4. In a now-deleted tweet, she reached out to Netflix and other streaming platforms, hoping they would consider picking up the show. She even directly tweeted at Netflix, asking, "Care to snatch up the goods?". Despite her efforts, the tweet was eventually taken down.

Fans of the show are eager to see Evil continue on a different platform like Netflix. However, the creators of the show, the Kings, have mentioned that they are not currently looking for a new home for the series. Michelle King emphasized that their main focus right now is on delivering a satisfying final season for the audience, themselves, and the actors involved.

Evil season 4 is scheduled to debut on Paramount+ in May.

It is great news that Paramount+ has shown respect to the Kings and their work by adding four extra episodes. However, Evil still has many stories to tell and could potentially continue with a full fifth season and beyond. The question remains whether another streaming service will accept Herbers' challenge and keep Evil going after season 4. With a large fanbase, there is a possibility that another platform may pick it up. Nevertheless, the Kings have stated that they are not actively seeking a new home for the show, indicating that Evil may indeed come to an end.

Editor's P/S:

The news of Evil's cancellation after season 4 is bittersweet. On the one hand, it's disappointing to see such a compelling series end prematurely. The show's unique blend of horror, mystery, and drama has kept viewers on the edge of their seats for four seasons. On the other hand, the creators' decision to wrap up the series with a mini season 5 is a testament to their respect for the fans and the show's legacy. The additional episodes will provide closure and allow the story to conclude in a satisfying way.

While it's understandable that fans are eager for Evil to continue on a different platform, it's also important to respect the creators' decision to end the show. The Kings have stated that they are focused on delivering a satisfying conclusion for the current season and are not actively seeking a new home for the series. This suggests that Evil may indeed come to an end after season 4, which is a shame but also a testament to the show's creators, who have always put the quality of their work first.
