Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, today announced that its hit original series, EVIL, was renewed for a third season. The first three episodes of season two of EVIL are currently available to stream on Paramount+. This season is already one of the service’s top acquisition drivers, with viewership growing week over week compared to the first season. New episodes of the 13-episode long second season drop weekly on Sundays, exclusively for Paramount+ subscribers.
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.
The second season brings evil closer to home. Kristen struggles with her darker nature, while David suffers temptation as he gets closer to his ordination. Meanwhile, Ben is visited by night terrors that prey on his greatest fears.
EVIL stars Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Christine Lahti, Kurt Fuller, Brooklyn Shuck, Skylar Gray, Maddy Crocco and Dalya Knapp. EVIL is produced by CBS Studios in association with King Size Productions. Robert King, Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, Rockne S. O’Bannon and Nelson McCormick serve as executive producers. The series is distributed worldwide by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.

I really like this show. Glad it is being renewed. Unfortunately I won’t see it as I will not pay to watch these shows that move to streaming as I refuse to pay even more to chase these shows. If the networks wish to send these programs to streaming only then I guess I don’t need to see them.

I agree with you and thousands of others posting on various sites that they will not follow their shows to paramount+ and spend more $$$$$ just to watch another show! The same is going on with Seal Team and we are angry with CBS/Paramount for playing these games. But we are not sheep and will not follow just because the 1% need to increase their bankrolls!

Whats crazy is giving up 12-16 minutes of Hour long tv so you can save a few pennies. I have no cable TV. I have no Satellite TV. I pay for the channels I want and never have to waste my life with commercials. For me, life is worth much more than saving a few scraps of green paper.

I agree. Won’t pay more money for a show that the first season was FREE. If CBS and everyone else is going to start doing this sh*t, I guess I won’t be watching TV anymore. This is a crock of sh*t.
