Star on a Mission to Save the Hit Series “Evil”

Netflix is known for many things, one of which is picking up shows that are close to ending, like “Lucifer.” Their latest is the supernatural series “Evil,” whose fourth season is said to be its last. But it is not going down without a fight. The stars are fighting tooth and nail for it to be renewed, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they succeed. Debuting on CBS in 2019, the Robert and Michele King series garnered a strong following for four seasons. Plans for a fifth season on Paramount+ were underway, but a cast member’s family loss necessitated a filming delay. Unfortunately, this delay coincided with Hollywood labor disputes. By the time those were resolved, Paramount+ decided to cancel the show, leaving season four as the series finale. But in this writer’s opinion, the series has more stories it could tell. In case you don’t already know, “Evil” centers on a team of investigators for the Catholic church:
