From is back! One of the best horror TV shows of all time, From follows a family who gets stuck (trying to leave literally drops you where you started) in a small town. The town is haunted by these horrible, smiling people who only come out at night and kill with bloody stealth. And that’s just the beginning.
The From season 4 premiere picks up where Season 3 left off. Fatima is dealing with the birth of… whatever she was carrying, and Jim’s death is waiting to be discovered. What is of more concern is what happens as Season 4 opens. A car crashes into the town, and from it we discover Sophia and her “father,” a priest. Of course, before the episode ends, we learn that Sophia is actually The Man in Yellow. He has shape-shifted into the visage of a girl and hitchhiked into town in the preacher’s car.
“Disturbingness. A lot of disturbing stuff,” says Julia Doyle, the actress who plays Sophia, about what is coming from her as The Man in Yellow. “And possibly some tears…,” she hints. Luckily, none of that disturbingness or “tears” strays into her relationship with the cast. “I saw that I had a random DM from Hannah, who plays Julie on the show, and she was saying, ‘Hey, I heard you got cast, I'm so excited for you to join and have someone finally my own age on the show.’” Everyone was warm and friendly, despite the bleakness of the subject matter they are dealing with.
Meanwhile, we checked in with series star and executive producer, Harold Perrineau, about what is in store for his character, Boyd, the unofficial mayor and sheriff of the town. “Boyd is going to deal with the thing that I didn't know Boyd was going to have to deal with. Boyd is dealing with how do you move forward when everything about you is broken?” I suggest that Boyd is pretty close to breaking, but Harold corrects me: “I think he’s pretty broke.” In an earlier season, Boyd gets up close with one of the night monsters, whom he calls Smiley, and says, “I think that pretty much shattered the rest of it.”
“And he's going to keep breaking even more,” Harold continued. “How do you smash something that's already in pieces? I don't know, but [show creator] John Griffin has found a way to do that to Boyd. That's what a lot of Season 4 is about.
“I don't even notice that the night people aren't there because I'm too busy trying to figure out what the heck it is that's happening right now,” Harold tells me. There are a lot of monsters about, new ones, that I won’t spoil, but it is terrifying. Harold promises: “Maybe right now it feels like we've forgotten about the night people, but trust me, we have not.”
From Season 4 premiered on MGM+ on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 9pm ET/PT, with new episodes released weekly through Sunday, June 28.
