By Recently came the news that the upcoming fourth season of “Evil” on Paramount+ will mark the series’ end.
The new season, which will debut in May, was originally slated to run ten episodes and was shooting the season finale when the strikes stopped production.
Filming resumed in December but with a twist – when the decision as made for it to end the show, the team were granted four additional episodes which will wrap up the storyline.
In a recent interview with Collider, series co-creator Robert King has teased what fans can expect to see in the new season – including an episode featuring the birth of Kristen and Leland’s child:
“The biggest key is probably the birth of this baby that is the product of Kristen’s egg and Leland’s sperm. Whenever I return to the world, I feel like a nut even explaining it.
It’s about how much is a baby truly innocent, and how much are they a combination of their genetic structure. That is the pretentious way to put it. The comic way to put it is, what is Leland like with a newborn baby, with a baby monitor, and with diaper genies?”
King has also teased creepier creature designs for the new season, and will continue playing on the show’s use of them less for jump scares and more for mood:
“It’s spookier because Sister Andrea is going to fight many more demons. We just love Andrea Martin and what she does with the character. She’s our window into the monsters and the demon world that the normal characters don’t see happening around them, and they’re scarier.
Joel [Harlow], who does our creatures, is just outdoing himself. It will have much more creepiness. It’s not the jump scares of monsters, but that unnerving feeling of, am I seeing a monster in that corner or is it just a dark corner?”
Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Christine Lahti, Michael Emerson and Andrea Martin star in the series which begins its new run in May.
