Evil Season 4: Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know

Summary Evil season 4 will be the show's final season, with four extra episodes to wrap up the story.

The release window for Evil season 4 is May 2024, just five months after production wrapped.

The main cast members will all be returning for the final season, including Mike Colter and Katja Herbers.

Evil season 3 concluded with a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers — and the latest Evil season 4 news already looks promising. David Acosta (Mike Colter), Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers), and Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi) continued to investigate cases passed down by the church, but things got more spooky and a bit too real than perhaps any of them may have imagined they would at the start of season 3. With such a big twist and shocker waiting for Kristen at the end of the season 3 finale, Evil has a lot to unpack in season 4.

One of the ongoing plot threads of the positively reviewed Evil has involved RMS Fertility, and Kristen spent much of season 3 in search of her missing egg, hiring a lawyer to sue the clinic and locate its whereabouts. Kristen was in for a surprise when she not only discovered that her egg was used by Leland and implanted in another woman, but that her mother, Sheryl, was still working with him. It’s always interesting to think about what showrunners and co-creators Robert and Michelle King have planned next. With Evil season 3 setting up a killer story, here's all the Evil season 4 news so far.

Evil Season 4 Story Details

All Questions Will Be Answered

With such a game-changing cliffhanger, Evil season 4 will surely explore what Leland’s actions mean for Kristen. She had a dream about a demon baby in season 3 and, though terrified, she still took care of it. It’s possible Kristen, will still find it in her to care for this child regardless of Leland’s devious plotting. While Kristen contends with this strange situation, David will have to figure out what the message “38 days, woe to Babylon” means. The priest will also try to keep the Kristen demon at bay, all while continuing to decipher Grace’s visions.

The First Look At Evil Season 4

Along with the release window and final season announcement, Paramount+ released a brief teaser for Evil season 4 ahead of a full trailer that is expected soon. Though the teaser doesn't reveal much, it highlights David, Dr. Bouchard, Leland, and Ben in individual closeups as sounds of terror take place around them. Viewers are then treated to brief snippets of scenes from the upcoming episodes in rapid succession. If Evil season 4 is anything like the teaser, it might be the most frightening yet.

With a host of cliffhangers still unresolved after season 3, the trailer shows the heroes nearly cracking under the pressure. Though the trailer ostensibly represents the fourth and final season of Evil its important to note that it doesn't contain any footage from the final four episodes which don't start shooting until May 2024.
