Paramount+ may have canceled the supernatural show, but there’s good news: Evil Season 4 has 14 episodes, more than the horror series originally planned.

Evil is criminally underseen and is easily one of the best TV shows streaming. But unfortunately, its time is coming to an end.

Co-showrunners Robert and Michelle King shared the news on February 15, 2024, announcing that Paramount+ had decided to end the series. However, the streaming service ordered four additional Season 4 episodes to wrap up the story.

So, at least we’re seeing it off with the longest season yet. Below is the full release schedule with titles, dates, and synopses.

How to watch Evil Season 4

Evil streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the US, Canada, and Australia. You’ll need a subscription to watch.

New seasons were previously released in the UK around a year after their US debut. However, there’s no release date for Season 4 yet.

Episodes will again air on the Alibi channel, according to Tech Radar. Alibi is available with certain Sky TV packages.

Finally, Entertainment NOW adds episodes on the day of their TV broadcast, where they’re available to subscribers on NOW’s £9.99 plan.

Season 5 hopes

Fans and actors are actively campaigning for Evil to be saved but no network has bought the series.

Unless Evil is saved by Netflix or another company, it will end with Season 4.

A petition addressed to Netflix has gained some traction and actors from the show have posted about their desire to keep going since the show was canceled.

The longer time goes on, the less likely it is that another service will swoop in.
