We aren’t the only ones who want Paramount+ to reconsider canceling the supernatural series “EVIL.” While fans still take to social media to beg, author Stephen King, the King of Horror, has joined the fight.
King recently took to social media with this message: “Dear Paramount+” More EVIL, please.” One of the series’ stars, Katja Herbers, tagged the show’s creator, Robert King (no relationship), and both retweeted Stephen King’s post. Other cast members, including Aasif Mandvi, who plays the brilliant Ben, quickly commented on King’s post, saying’s Thank you.”
Dear Paramount+: More EVIL, please.

Herbers has been on a mission to get “EVIL” renewed since before its recent season four finale.
“Evil” centers on a team of investigators for the Catholic church: Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers), Father David Acosta (Mike Colter), and Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi). They are tasked with finding out if events are supernatural or scientifically explainable. The team faces demons and deals with possessions, relics, and more with the help of family and friends. All while the series’ villain, series’ (Michael Emerson) is on a mission to bring the Antichrist into the world.
This is not the only time King has mentioned the series. He recently interviewed with PBS News Hour and spoke about his love of the show. Herbers shared the clip on Twitter.

Will Paramount+ head the call? We hope so. The finale left many issues unresolved. A fifth season could address those; plus, now that half the team has relocated, there are even more opportunities to expand the series with gripping new stories. We will keep our fingers crossed that we will get another season. Take to social media, using #SaveEvil and tagging Paramount+, and tell them you want more.
This isn’t the first project that King has tried to bail out of trouble. After years of delays and drama, the soon-to-be-released adaptation of his story Salem’s Lot was finished but stuck in limbo. King spoke up for the film, and quickly, a first look was unveiled, followed by an October release date. Let’s hope it works for “Evil,” too.
You can watch the first two seasons on Netflix or all four seasons on Paramount+.
