Horror Show That’s Perfect for Stephen King Fans Gets Major Return Update

In more straightforward terms: Not many horror movies manage to match the prestige of Stephen King’s extensive literary contributions in the horror genre. His writings have significantly shaped the field for several decades now, with numerous adaptations of his novels appearing on both large and small screens. With upcoming adaptations such as Francis Lawrence’s “The Long Walk,” Edgar Wright’s “The Running Man,” and HBO’s prequel series for “Welcome to Derry” in the pipeline, a non-King horror show that deserves attention has recently received an important update, making it worthwhile for fans to keep an eye on.

In the year 2022, MGM+ introduced its science fiction/horror drama series titled “From“, led by Harold Perrineau. This compelling series was produced by John Griffin, Jeff Pinkner, and director Jack Bender. It quickly made a splash in the horror genre, setting a record as MGM+’s most-viewed series ever. Consequently, rapid season renewals ensued, and fans anticipating “From” Season 4 are rejoicing over recent developments. As reported by Deadline on Tuesday, production for the show’s fourth installment has officially commenced in Nova Scotia.

The fourth season of the show is scheduled to debut in 2026. Perrineau reprises his role as Boyd Stevens, the main character, alongside a talented cast that includes Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, Elizabeth Saunders, Scott McCord, and Ricky He. Additionally, Chloe Van Landschoot, Corteon Moore, Pegah Ghafoori, and David Alpay are part of the ensemble. Furthermore, it was announced that Julia Doyle from Astrid And Lilly Save The World will join the cast as a regular character named Sophia, who is described as a sheltered and vulnerable pastor’s daughter.

From Is the Perfect Show for Stephen King Fans

The series isn’t directly based on one of Stephen King’s adaptations, but it will feel like a recurring tale for fans of the renowned author. The show draws upon various aspects from King’s literature, such as the eerie, enigmatic, secluded town that confines its residents and takes on a personality of its own, reminiscent of Derry in ‘It’, Castle Rock in ‘Needful Things’, and Jerusalem’s Lot in ‘Salem’s Lot’.

The series explores the enigma behind a frightening town where no one can escape once they enter. The oppressive vibe within this inescapable location echoes King’s style, gradually building an overpowering feeling of fear and hopelessness – emotions that are recurrent in his literary oeuvre. Similar to numerous works by King, From offers a character-focused narrative, a harrowing struggle for life, and spectral creatures akin to those that haunt King’s novels.
