Top Horror Series of the Decade Returns Next Week
From has emerged as one of the top horror series of the decade. The show returns next week on MGM+ with a new season. Fans should catch up on the first three seasons before April 19.
Why the series stands out
Creator John Griffin built a slow-burning mystery that blends classic horror with modern TV drama. The series focuses on a remote town haunted by creatures that appear after dark. It balances empathy for trapped residents with relentless, terrifying encounters.
Genre pedigree and influences
Viewers often note echoes of Hitchcock and Stephen King in the show’s tone. The 2020s have become a strong era for horror television, with creators like Mike Flanagan and the Duffer Brothers gaining praise. Still, From has been singled out for its distinct multi-season storytelling.
The monsters
The show deliberately keeps the creatures’ origins unexplained. That ambiguity increases their menace. The monsters often assume human appearances, exploiting trust among the town’s population.
One figure, known as Smiley, wears an unnerving grin. Smiley is infamous for brutal, sadistic attacks. Other recurring threats include the Children in White and a figure called Jasmine. The range of creatures helps sustain suspense across episodes.
Season 4 details and release
The season 4 trailer hinted at darker revelations about Boyd Stevens. New episodes will premiere weekly on MGM+, beginning April 19. The upcoming run promises to deepen the central mystery and raise uncomfortable questions about human-monster relations.
Series origins and key personnel
The series first premiered on February 20, 2022, on Epix, now MGM+. John Griffin created the show and served on the writing team.
