Season Three Of "Evil," The Best Season Yet, Premieres This Week

Paramount+ Reveals Premiere Date For Season 3 Of “Evil” With New Trailer

One of this writer’s favorite series happens to be Paramount+’s supernatural horror show “Evil.” I’m happy to report that it now possesses its season three premiere date and a new teaser trailer. Starring Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi, “Evil“ is “a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions, and hauntings. Their job is to assess if there is a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.” Season two of “Evil” ended with a cliffhanger on the day that David was ordained as a man of the cloth. That same day Kristen came to him begging for him to hear her confession, revealing the secret she had been hiding, that she’d killed serial murderer Orson LeRoux, and gotten

Welcome To Derry: ‘IT’ Is Getting A Prequel Series From HBO Max!

It’s been over two years since IT: Chapter II was released. Just when we thought the story had come to an end, Warner Bros. shares the news that they are teaming up with HBO Max for a new prequel series titled “Welcome to Derry.” Much of the details of the series, including the cast and synopsis for the series, has not been released, but odds are it will explore more of the 27-year cycle of Pennywise. We would hope that if Pennywise is a part of the story that Bill Skarsgard will reprise his role as the monster. Based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel, the story follows seven children as they are terrorized by an evil entity that exploits the fears of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. “It” primarily appears in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown to attract its preferred prey, young children.
