The horror genre continues to be a major draw for audiences in movie theaters and on streaming. Most discussion of horror, however, is usually limited to movies, as there are far fewer TV shows in the genre that manage to break through. Though the 2000s was somewhat barren when it came to horror on the small screen, this changed in the 2010s.American Horror Storyhas been going strong now since 2011, for example, and thecancelledChannel Zeroran for four seasons starting in 2016.The Walking Deaduniverse also remains popular.
The rise of horror on TV really took off, however, with the rise of streaming and, specifically, therise of Mike Flanagan. Flanagan brought shows likeThe Haunting of Hill House,The Haunting of Bly Manor, andMidnightMass, among others to life.Streaming allows filmmakers to push horror boundaries on TV, as has been seen recently withTeacupon Peacock. There’s another horror show, though, which has been flying under the radar and delivering some genuine scares.

What From’s Streaming Popularity Means For Season 4’s Chances
Will The MGM+ Show Be Renewed?
Season 3 may be propelling the show to streaming success on Reelgood’s charts, butFromseason 4hasn’t yet gotten the green light. Though some extremely popular shows are renewed before seasons finish airing (or before they’ve even premiered),the MGM+ show has thus far been renewed after each season has been fully released. Since there are still three episodes to go in season 3, a season 4 announcement may still be more than a month away.
The strong streaming performance accompaniesFromseason 3’s 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and reviews praise the show for its scares, unpredictable storytelling, and performances.
Several stars have expressed interest inFromreturning for season 4, and potentially beyond. In an interview withRadioTimes, Perrineau says that, while he doesn’t have any information about the show’s return,“I’m assuming that we’re going to have a season 4.“He continues: “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.” Perrineau isn’t the only star to address the show’s future, with Saunders saying: “I hope we’ll get at least a couple more seasons out of it.”

Our Take On From’s Streaming Performance
Is MGM+ Holding The Show Back From Greater Success?
The fact thatFromis making an impact and competing with other shows on larger streaming services is impressive, and it speaks to the show’s growing, passionate fan base. If the MGM+ show does return for season 4,it could end up becoming even more widely seen as more viewers catch on. It’s not clear whatFrom’s budget is per season, but it’s probably not wildly expensive. If the show were to get cancelled, it’s entirely possible, rights permitting, that it could get picked up elsewhere. Signs so far, however, suggest thatFrom’s run at MGM+ isn’t over.
New episodes ofFromseason 3 release on Sundays on MGM+ at 9pm ET.
