FROM
It feels like ages since the Season 3 finale of FROM, MGM+’s awkwardly titled but incredibly entertaining horror series, dropped back in November, 2024. The season finale left us all reeling, with some huge revelations, twists and one terrifying character death.
Ever since, we’ve been wondering when Season 4 would drop and whether we were in for a long wait. There hasn’t been much news other than the fact that filming would begin sometime in 2025 and the first episode is slated to air in 2026. I was hopeful that it would be early 2026, but we’re already nearing the end of June and this has grown incredibly unlikely.
Now, actors on the show are posting to their social media accounts that filming has at last begun on the new season in Nova Scotia. Simon Webster (who plays Ethan Matthews) posted a photo of himself in a trailer on-set and Liz Saunders (who plays Donna) shared the news to her Instagram as well.
This is good news, obviously, and means we’re on the road back to Fromville. The bad news is that this means we definitely won’t be getting the new season in January or February like I’d hoped. I’d guess that we’re looking at April, 2026 at the earliest (Season 1 was an April release) or June/July at the latest (like Season 2). Worst case scenario would be October/November (like Season 3) but I doubt we’ll see it pushed that far back with filming already underway.
Of course, there is no set release date so this is speculation on my part. Creator John Griffin has said of Season 4, “With the culmination of season 3 we have, in many ways, reached the end of the beginning. In season 4, a new journey begins. The question is whether it will lead our characters home, or deeper into this unrelenting nightmare.”
Deeper into the nightmare, obviously. FROM is MGM+’s biggest hit and I’m confident it will continue to be renewed until all they’ve told the whole story and (most of) our questions are answered (mostly). If only Amazon would put this on Prime Video or license it to Netflix, this could be a major hit.
FROM tells the story of a mysterious town, referred to only as The Town (or Fromville) where people from all over the country find themselves stranded, unable to leave, and haunted by dark forces. Evil monsters hunt on the townsfolk at night, and deeper, more terrifying evil lurks below. The residents struggle to survive all while trying to untangle the mystery of the Town and how they can escape. Like the Hotel California, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Season 3, like every season before it, was something of a mixed bag, with a few episodes in the middle dragging, but overall I really enjoyed it, with the back-half of the season really ramping up the intensity and leading to some very compelling fan theories. It’s been a grueling wait for Season 4, but it looks like we’ll just have to wait a bit longer than we hoped.
Que sera sera.
