The paranormal series has become one of the highest-rated and most-watched shows on Paramount+. The series started with three main characters:
Dr. Kristen Bouchard– a forensic psychologist, is highly skeptical and does not believe in demons or the supernatural. But by the end of session 3, she is at the center of science and the unexplainable.
David Acosta– Catholic Seminarian who was a former journalist. He takes hallucinogens to get divine visions, but are they really divine, or his mind playing games?
Ben Shakir– a technological contractor who assists David and is responsible for scientific explanations for supernatural occurrences.
With three seasons of constant turmoil between reality and the augmented supernatural realm, the three investigators are at a major crossroads in their lives at the end of Season 3, which ends on a major cliffhanger.
Evil Season 3 Recap
Andy returns to his family but doesn’t seem to be himself. He gets visions of demonic entities, which he never got previously. In a more bizarre turn of events, Andy’s behavior towards Sheryl has changed drastically as the two appear on more cordial terms. There seems to be a high possibility that Sheryl manipulated Andy and brainwashed him while captive.
David receives a premonition in the form of an intense vision. He sees an angel that tells him of an impending doom. The message can also be interpreted as foreshadowing the inevitable birth of Kristen’s child.
Leland and Sheryl are grooming Lexis to control one of the houses of demonic possession. Their plans get interrupted when Kristen interjects. But Kristen has more problems to worry about, mainly the mystery of her missing egg from the RMS fertility clinic. Sarah’s death was the final resolution to find the secret behind her missing egg.
However, the series takes a darker turn when Krsiten traces an address in relation to discovering what happened to her egg. But to her utter shock, she is led to a building belonging to DF, where celebrations are in order.
Her mother, Sheryl, worked there, and Leland was seen congratulating a mysterious woman. Turns out, she is pregnant with Kristen’s missing egg.
Evil Season 4 Plot
Andy has flashes of what happened to him when he was imprisoned in the finale of season 3. The new season will probably show his storyline uncovering the truth.
David will act on his vision and probably stop the birth of the “ill-fated” child.
After finding out the truth about her egg, Kristen and Leland are now connected. The new season may harp on the Rosemary Baby type of storyline, where the titular character was gaslighted into delivering a half-human-half-demon baby.
Will There Be Evil Season 4?
The cliffhanger was the most vital plot point to progress the series. It would be criminal, nay, sinister, to cancel the show at season 3. Fortunately, the series was greenlit for season 4 in July 2022 while the show’s third season was streaming.
The show is one of Paramount’s premier series, with critical acclaim. The show initially aired on CBS but was later acquired to be streamed on Paramount+.
Where To Watch Evil Season 4
All the seasons of the Evil series are available for streaming on Paramount+. Season 4 will also release on the same platform.
