It’s somewhat fitting that a show so adept at exploring the unknown would find itself facing the unknown more often than not, which was often the case with the Paramount Plus cult hit horror series “Evil.”
The show, which followed a small team of “assessors” working for the Catholic church investigating all types of supernatural mysteries ranging from possessions to miracles, premiered to healthy buzz on CBS in 2019 and rave reviews from horror fans. But ratings were more modest by the end of Season 1, so Paramount opted to make the series a streaming exclusive on its fledgling (at the time) streaming service Paramount Plus.
After initially jumping from broadcast to streaming to survive potential cancelation, “Evil” would manage to hang on for four seasons and a total of 50 episodes, before wrapping its run in August of 2024 just in time for a full Halloween season binge. Paramount chose to end...

The Elsbeth series is a spin-off of two beloved shows from Robert King and Michelle King, but that lineage didn't translate to big ratings for the show's first season. It ended up being CBS' lowest-rated scripted series of 2023-24 to escape cancellation. Will the numbers improve in year two? Will Elsbeth be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

Elsbeth fans can finally see a face from The Good Wife joining! Find out who!
It's always common for a spinoff to feature characters from the show it was an offshoot from. That really worked for The Good Fight as the series regularly showed scores of characters from The Good Wife. That included Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni, the wildly quirky attorney who became a fan favorite and earned Preston an Emmy award.
Elsbeth now has her own spinoff with the idea of moving to New York City, and her work with the police soon makes Elsbeth a crime-solver. The show is unique in that each episode opens by showing the viewer who the killer is. It then focuses on how Elsbeth pieces it together with a cat-and-mouse game with the murderer.

Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) has made her fair share of deals with devils. Over the course of four seasons of the Paramount+ show "Evil," the semi-skeptical forensic psychologist has killed a man, burned her hand on a cross, and had sex with a Satanic church founder. In the show's final season, she also helped raise the potential antichrist: a baby born via surrogate from her stolen eggs and world-class creep Leland Townsend's (Michael Emerson) DNA. It's no surprise, then, that "Evil" ends on a delightfully complicit note, with Kristen pulling an "I pretend I do not see it" meme when baby Timothy starts exhibiting some clear-cut signs of demonic possession.
In the series finale's final scene, Kristen and her daughters seem to have their happy ending. They've just moved to Rome and are loving it. Kristen is continuing her work surveying possible demonic activity alongside David (Mike Colter), the...

"Evil" just ended a few weeks ago, but there's already a campaign to bring the surreal, incredible Paramount+ show back for another season – and it's being spearheaded by the most famous horror author in the world.
Stephen King made his love of the four-season series known in a recent interview with PBS news (shared via series star Katja Herbers' X account), telling a reporter, "There's a show called 'Evil' on Paramount+ that I like." He continued: "It's great. It's funny and it's witty and it's very, very sharp." Five days after the series ended, Herbers shared the video with the caption, "Okay Can We Do The Pick Up Now? thank you @StephenKing #Evil." The prolific author got the memo: on August 31, 2024, he simply tweeted, "Dear Paramount+: More Evil, please."
So why is King stumping for this show on social media? Well, because it's exactly as great as he says.

Stephen King is continuing to campaign for the Paramount+ series Evil to make its return from the dead.
After recently giving the show his overwhelming seal of approval, the literary icon demanded the streaming platform renew the supernatural procedural that recently ended after four seasons.
“Dear Paramount+: More Evil, please,” King wrote Sunday on X, to which star Katja Herbers responded, “From the bottom of our Evil hearts, thank you!!!”
The online exchange comes after Herbers previously shared a video this week of King praising the show in a PBS News interview. “There’s a show called Evil on Paramount+ that I like,” he said in the clip. “It’s great. It’s funny and it’s witty and it’s very, very sharp.”

After recently giving the show his overwhelming seal of approval, the literary icon demanded the streaming platform renew the supernatural procedural that recently ended after four seasons.
“Dear Paramount+: More Evil, please,” King wrote Sunday on X, to which star Katja Herbers responded, “From the bottom of our Evil hearts, thank you!!!”

Hell hath no fury like fans who lose a brilliant show before its time. Such is the case with Evil, the supernatural series unlike anything else on screens. When word came down from on high that Evil would end with the conclusion of its fourth season, fans rallied online to save the show from cancelation, with the show’s brilliant star, Katja Herbers, leading the charge. Herber’s enthusiasm for the series is inspiring, with the actress championing the show’s continuation at every turn, signaling to networks and streamers that Team Evil is ready and willing to continue the show’s unique spin on the all but extinct and nostalgic monster-of-the-week formula. Helping to add fuel to Herbers’ fire is the Master of Horror himself, Stephen King, who recently sang Evil’s praises during a PBS News interview. With such a ringing endorsement from one of entertainment’s most sought-after creators,...

After a ridiculously successful first season, fans of Elsbeth are ready for the police procedural to return with more murder mayhem and hijinks.
With a Rotten Tomatoes score of ninety-four percent, the review aggregator’s consensus on the show is that “Carrie Preston’s standout character from The Good Wife makes for a great detective in this amiable and clever spinoff.”
The series has proven that The Good Wife universe has plenty of room to expand into more shows and genres. Elsbeth starkly contrasted the heavy intensity of The Good Wife and The Good Fight.

It has a fun and lighter tone than its sister shows, but that doesn’t mean the creators aren’t above dropping an easter egg or two.
In fact, all of the episodic murderers for Season 1 were actors who had previously portrayed different characters in either The Good Wife or The Good Fight.

Katja Herbers is renewing hope that Evil will get picked up for another season on Paramount+.
The star of the supernatural series reignited the campaign to save the show after Stephen King expressed his approval on social media.
“There’s a show called Evil on Paramount+ that I like,” King said in an interview on PBS News. “It’s great. It’s funny and it’s witty and it’s very, very sharp.
Herbers shared the clip of King’s interview, adding, “Okay, can we do the pick up now? Thank you, Stephen King.”
King then quoted Herbers post, adding, “Smart, thought-provoking, occasionally Very scary. Plus, the chemistry between the three evil-hunters is strong and…to quote Kamala…joyful.”

Elsbeth has just revealed who the first killer guest star for season 2 is and it’s a huge name! Find out who here!
One of the best surprises of the 2024 TV season has been Elsbeth. At first, it seemed a strange idea: Carrie Preston reprised her Emmy-winning role as Elsbeth Tascioni, the incredibly quirky lawyer from The Good Wife and its spin-off The Good Fight.
Rather than be a legal dramedy, this new show is a throwback to the mystery series of the 1970s. Elsbeth has moved to New York City, where she’s an observer for the NYPD. She’s soon involved in murder cases where her unusual mind allows her to piece together clues to solve it.
What makes the show notable is that, like Columbo, it’s a “reverse whodunnit” in that the audience sees from the start who the killer is. The thrill of the episode...

For audiences, the four seasons of Robert and Michelle King’s “Evil” have been the stuff of nightmares. For Oscar-winning prosthetics artist Joel Harlow, it was the stuff of childhood dreams.
“This is the high water mark of my professional career in terms of artist fulfillment,” Harlow told IndieWire over Zoom a few days before the series finale aired August 22 on Paramount+. “This is what I wanted to do as a kid.”
Harlow means that literally. In most instances, the “Evil” script would merely say, “Joel will deliver us something terrifying.” And starting with the sleep paralysis demon George, that’s just what he did.
“Evil” followed three assessors for the Catholic church — a priest (Mike Colter), an agnostic psychiatrist (Katja Herbers), and an atheist scientist (Aasaf Mandvi) as they evaluated a case of the week to determine if an exorcism was needed while battling demons in their personal lives.

The title of Evil season 4 episode 14, “Fear of the End”* has a double meaning. It seems very likely the clocks will tick out on Father David Acosta (Mike Colter), Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers), and Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi), as well as much of the ecclesiastical order, by the finale’s end. For fans who didn’t skip past the theme song, for old time’s sake, it also means Evil was much too short-lived a series. Creators and showrunners Robert and Michelle King are to be mourned. “Fear of the End” concludes as a finale, but feels like a death. There is more story to tell, and the final episode is littered with possibilities.

The cast of “Evil” was kind of expecting this to be their final season, actor Michael Emerson, who plays the diabolically delightful Leland Thompson on the series, told TheWrap ahead of the series finale.
“They were slow to suggest that we would keep going. What with the strike and all and some changes happening at Paramount+, I didn’t think [a renewal] was a given by any means,” he said of the show’s cancellation after four seasons.
However, he’s grateful that the show’s writers and creators Robert and Michelle King were able to “wrap up the series” as best they could in the final four episodes.
“It was a little fast. It’s hard to wrap up a bunch of narratives like our show has in four episodes. But I think the writers did a pretty good job of it,” he said.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains details about the Evil series finale “Fear of the End,” which dropped this morning on Paramount+
In the end, Evil truly brought evil to the heart of the Catholic church with a potential Antichrist baby now being wheeled around the sunny Vatican by its mother Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) and its priestly guardian of sorts David Acosta (Mike Colter).
Talk about going dark.
“The punchline at the end, is this kid possibly, or probably, is the Antichrist, and Lexis (Maddy Crocco), the second youngest, is probably going to be this evil protector to him,” says Evil co-creator and finale director Robert King of the fanged and white-eyed baby staring up at his mother. “Then it comes down to Kristen, who’s always mother first to protect those two, and actually probably to the detriment of humankind, but to the benefit of her family, which is just comic to us.

Smack in between two political conventions, our attentions shifted to Paris for the Olympics, where we marveled at the largely E. coli- and entirely shark-free beauty of the Seine, celebrated Simone Biles, ogled French pole vaulters, held our breath through one impossible comeback after another, and attempted to make sense of competitive breakdancing...

This post contains spoilers for "Evil."
The age of streaming is full of problems.

It's a series that mixes network procedurals with all-time great tales of the macabre, giving audiences monster-of-the-week stories that not only feature some of the best creature work on TV, but also tell poignant stories about the hell of modern existence and how the devil can't compare to the evil of the internet and late-stage capitalism. For four seasons, "Evil...

Christine told Variety she’s unsure if she’d return, but she does still email with the show’s co-creator, Michelle King, about topics that would be relevant on air.
“Diane Lockhart still lives in my heart when I watch the news and when I take in what’s going on in the world — that incredible Joan of Arc thing she had of believing in the world and being fiercely idealistic.
