From season 4: Release date speculation, cast, plot, latest news
There's both good news and bad news on season 4.
Ever since From season 3 accelerated to a riveting finale at the end of last year, fans have been clamouring for a fourth season.
Well, there's both good and bad news on this front. While, thankfully, the series was officially renewed for season 4 shortly before the season 3 finale aired, viewers hoping for swift turnaround will be disappointed.
Production on season 4 is set to kick off in 2025, meaning fans will have rather a long wait until the new season actually drops.
The show, which started on Epix before moving to MGM+, tells the horrifying story of a group of people trapped in a small American town with dangerous, blood-thirsty nocturnal creatures who attempt to lure the residents to their deaths.
Season 3 saw several revelations come to light – with none more terrifying than Fatima's pregnancy, which concluded with her giving birth to the Smiley Creature that Boyd (Harold Perrineau) killed in the opening episodes of the season, and the introduction of the mysterious Man in Yellow – and left fans desperate for answers, especially after star Harold Perrineau, who plays Boyd, admitted that even he was still baffled about one particular storyline.
There were also a number of tragic deaths, with several beloved residents of the Fromily meeting some very unfortunate ends.
Creator John Griffin has teased that the surviving characters have reached the "end of the beginning" and that "a new journey" awaits them in the episodes to come – here's everything you need to know about From season 4 on MGM+, including who could return and when it could be released.
From season 4 release date speculation: When is it coming out?
From season 4 will be released on MGM+ in 2026.
Deadline confirmed the release year in its report of the show's renewal, but alas, no specific date has been provided just yet.
Season 4 is supposedly set to go into production this year in Nova Scotia, where the previous three seasons were filmed.
We'll keep this page updated with more details as and when they come, but in the meantime, we can speculate based on the timeline on From's past two seasons.
Looking at From's track record so far, season 2 came 14 months after season 1, while season 3 came 17 months after season 2, so we'd expect a break in that region for the next instalment.
That would mean an estimated release window for From season 4 in spring 2026.
We'd expect the UK to have a longer wait for the new season. From season 3 came to to Sky and NOW about three months after it arrived in the US – so we'd expect it to be more like summer 2026 this side of the pond.
"Our talented show creators and cast have brilliantly and carefully crafted this wonderful show, and we look forward to providing the answers the From audience so enthusiastically craves in season 4!"
Showrunner Jeff Pinkner commented: "We are thrilled by the support of our fans and our partners at MGM+ and are so excited to share the next chapter of our story with our FROMily.
"By the end of season 3, our characters will begin to understand why they are trapped in From Town… but will understanding help them to escape? And if so, how?"
How many episodes will there be in From season 4?
The new season will consist of 10 episodes, much like the previous three instalments, according to Variety.
Will From season 4 be available to watch in the UK?
There's no solid news on a UK release date just yet.
However, considering the past three seasons were released in the UK following the US release, we can expect season 4 to be released in the UK – likely on Sky and NOW again.
Which cast members could return in From season 4?
While a full cast list hasn't been confirmed, below are some of the cast members who could potentially return in some capacity for From season 4:
- Harold Perrineau as Boyd Stevens
- Catalina Sandino Moreno as Tabitha Matthews
- David Alpay as Jade Herrera
- Elizabeth Saunders as Donna Raines
- Scott McCord as Victor Kavanaugh
- Ricky He as Kenny Liu
- Chloe Van Landschoot as Kristi Miller
- Kaelen Ohm as Marielle 'Mari' Sinclair
- Pegah Ghafoori as Fatima Hassan
- Corteon Moore as Ellis Stevens
- Hannah Cheramy as Julie Matthews
- Simon Webster as Ethan Matthews
- Avery Konrad as Sara Myers
- Robert Joy as Henry Kavanaugh
- Samantha Brown as Dani Acosta
- AJ Simmons as Randall Kirkland
- Nathan D Simmons as Elgin
- Douglas E Hughes as The Man in Yellow
It wouldn't be From without our main man, Boyd Stevens, so we'd very much expect Harold Perrineau to return to lead the ensemble cast.
Other characters who we could see back include Tabitha, Jade, Donna, Ellis, Kristi and Victor –and we're not ruling out additions to the cast either.
However, we're not expecting to see the likes of Tian-Chen Liu (Elizabeth Moy) or Dale (Cliff Saunders) back for more after their deaths in season 3.
We're also not expecting to see Eion Bailey as Jim Matthews back after his heartbreaking death in the season 3 finale.
However, we could very well expect to see the recently introduced Man in Yellow back for more. Fully introduced at the end of season 3, it's been revealed that he's been lurking in the background since season 1.
Could he be the big bad at the centre of it all? Only time will tell.
Stars Harold Perrineau and Elizabeth Saunders (who plays Donna Raine) had previously opened up to RadioTimes.com about their hopes for the future of the show.
Perrineau said: "I'm assuming that we're going to have a season 4, it seems like worldwide that people are really enjoying the show, and so I'm just going to assume that there is one, but I don't ask any questions.
"I have sort of a standing agreement with them that I only know what I have to know for the season, but not beyond that."
Saunders added: "I don't think there was an intention of, like, 10 seasons... I don't know if they have an [idea of], 'We're gonna end it after this many seasons.' I hope we'll get at least a couple more seasons out of it."
What could happen in From season 4?
In a statement released at the time of the show's renewal, From creator John Griffin dropped some hints about what's coming down the pipeline for our long-suffering characters.
He said: "With the culmination of season 3 we have, in many ways, reached the end of the beginning. In season 4, a new journey begins. The question is whether it will lead our characters home, or deeper into this unrelenting nightmare."
We're intrigued – and a little frightened.
The ending of From season 3 also gives us some clues – and we're expecting to a lot more of The Man in Yellow, played by Douglas E Hughes, in season 4.
We'd also expect to see more from Tabitha and Jade, after the reveal that they're actually reincarnated versions of Miranda and Christopher, and lots more from Julie, after her time-travelling continued in the final scenes of season 3.
We'd also expect to find out some more about reincarnation of the Smiley Creature, who Tabitha gave birth to in the finale.
Perrineau previously opened up to RadioTimes.com about where he expects season 4 to go, saying he expects a "rift" and "division" between the residents of Fromland.
But only time will tell for sure!
Is there a trailer for From season 4?
There's no trailer just yet, but we'll keep this page updated with any new details as and when they come.
