The official description: “In the upcoming season, Kristen (Katja Herbers), David (Mike Colter) and Ben (Aasif Mandvi) continue to assess cases that involve wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and infestation, a dance muse conjured by alleged witches and an evil relic. Throughout, Leland (Michael Emerson) attempts to lure Kristen into raising a baby antichrist who was conceived with her ovum. David is recruited by the Vatican’s secret service to ‘remote view’ a paranormal ability to see the unseen in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a taunting jinn until he discovers an unusual solution to banish it. Finally, all three realize they only have a few weeks left to assess cases because the parish has decided to disband the team due to a lack of funds. This culminates in one last confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that make up Evil in the modern world.”

“We want to thank Paramount+ for giving us four bonus episodes to end Evil in the world in style,” said the Kings, who also serve as showrunners, in a previous statement. “We will miss this show and cast. In many ways it was a dream project, but sadly evil will outlast Evil.”

“It’s hard to underscore the ability of Robert and Michelle King to cleverly craft thought-provoking stories that push creative boundaries time and time again, and Evil is no exception,” said David Stapf, president of CBS Studios, in a previous statement. “We’re proud to call them partners, and want to thank them both, Liz Glotzer, the entire cast and the crew for bringing these complex characters to life year after year as we celebrate this final season of Evil.”

Evil is “a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion.”
