The original horror series From, which is shown on MGM Plus, has been very successful
during its first two seasons, and there is intriguing news surrounding the possibility
of a third season.
The drama will make its debut in 2022 and will centre on the inhabitants of a strange
village who are forced to remain there by sinister powers.
From wowed with its acting and storytelling, and it has become something of an underappreciated
treasure for the premium cable network.
The show is subtly odd, and it is always unsettling.
Many episodes of From have been directed by Jack Bender, who is also the primary director
of ABC's Lost.
Bender lends his own distinct flair to the programme, which is why it is sometimes likened
to Lost due of its convoluted use of narrative and merging of genres.
The first season of From was largely underappreciated, despite the fact that the series was eventually
shortlisted for two Saturn Awards, one of which was for Best Horror Television Series
in 2022.
From has received a lot of love from reviewers, and it still has a score on Rotten Tomatoes
that's more than 90% despite the fact that it's not very well known.
The most significant challenge that the horror series needed to surmount was maintaining
its momentum into the second season.
Fortunately, From's sophomore chapter demonstrated that the idea could be developed further in
the future.
Stephen King, a legend in the field of horror, gave his stamp of approval to the novel From,
which gave the impression that the young series had a bright future ahead of it.
Is a third season of From in the works?
From may or may not be renewed for a third season on MGM+, although the network has not
yet made that announcement.
However, the renewal of the programme for a second season was announced just two weeks
after the conclusion of the first season, and if the broadcaster maintains this speedy
turnaround, then we will know very soon whether or not the show will continue to air.
When is the most likely release date for From season 3?
Even though From season 3 has not been officially announced, the recent news regarding the creation
of the show makes it much simpler to speculate about when it could be made available.
From what can be gleaned from the show's history, MGM Plus has maintained a relatively strict
schedule for it, and the seasons have been released on an annual basis despite the tendency
of modern television to have longer intervals in between episodes.
Keeping this in mind, the premiere of From season 3 will most likely take place in the
year 2024; however, the specific month remains relatively uncertain due to the existence
of mitigating factors.
During an interview with Tell-Tale TV about the programme, director Bender discussed the
Writers Guild of America strike, which has reportedly had an effect on hundreds of productions
and appears to have had an effect on the horror series as well.
According to what Bender had to say about the scripts for the programme, "we didn't
have enough ready to go that we, in the studio, felt we could start and not have to stop."
This statement gives the impression that some of the season was written, but not enough
of it.
There is no way to predict how long the strike may go, nor how much it could potentially
delay the production of From season 3.
Nevertheless, the most encouraging prospect is that the publication date would be pushed
back to some point in the year 2024.
Details from the Third Season's Story
There are a few larger parts of the jigsaw that the show could likely handle as it starts
its third year on the air, not the least of which being the actual significance of From's
cicadas which have been a continuous presence in the programme since the beginning.
As the show begins its third year on the air, there are a few larger elements of the puzzle
that the show might likely address.
It is quite evident that the conclusion of season 2 is likely to be the most monumental
climax that the programme has experienced up to this point, and there is evidence to
imply that From season 3 won't dial back the intensity either.
During the same interview with Tell-Tale TV, Bender discussed the conclusion of the second
season of From, saying, "It builds and builds to a really powerful, crazy, climactic end."
This statement gives the impression that significant shifts are on the horizon.
During the same interview, he also provided some information about the upcoming third
season by saying, "We're going to pick up season three."
It does get worse; It's like quicksand".
Bender has made it quite apparent that From season 3 will only serve to intensify the
issues for the townsfolk, which promises more scary drama than other programmes that return
to a normal plateau between seasons.
This is in contrast to other shows that return to a regular plateau between seasons.
