Is there going to be a From season 4?
Official renewal announcement
Yes – From has been renewed for a fourth season. The renewal was announced in November 2023, as reported by Deadline (industry trade publication). MGM+ moved quickly to lock in another season after the show’s third-season run performed well.
Season 4 premiere date confirmed
From Season 4 will premiere on MGM+ on Sunday, April 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET, according to the official teaser and announcement from TV Series Finale (renewal announcements). A first-look teaser accompanied the news.
Number of episodes in season 4
MGM+ has not yet confirmed the exact episode count for Season 4. Previous seasons each had 10 episodes (Wikipedia). Industry speculation suggests Season 4 will also consist of 10 episodes, but that remains unconfirmed. The implication: fans should expect a similar rhythm, but the network could adjust the length.
The renewal signals MGM+’s confidence in the series. For viewers, the confirmed April date means the wait is shorter than the previous gap between seasons.
The implication: with an earlier-than-expected premiere, MGM+ is betting on sustained audience interest.
What is the storyline behind From?
Basic premise of the series
From follows residents of a mysterious town that traps anyone who enters. No one can leave – roads loop back, phone lines are dead, and strange creatures emerge at night. The MGM+ official synopsis (streaming platform) describes “a town that holds a hidden secret.”
Main characters and their struggles
The town’s sheriff, Boyd Stevens (Wikipedia (community-maintained encyclopedia)), leads the fight for survival. Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Jim Matthews (Eion Bailey) are a couple trying to protect their family while searching for answers. Each character carries personal trauma that the town seems to amplify.
The central mystery of the town
Why people are trapped, who (or what) creates the monsters, and whether there is a way out are the core puzzles. According to the IMDb plot summary (user-contributed database), “a town with a hidden secret experiences strange occurrences that intensify at night.” The show drip-feeds answers across seasons.
The pattern: each season reveals one piece of the puzzle, but always raises two new questions. That’s the engine driving viewership.
Is From series similar to Lost?
Shared executive producers and creative DNA
The most direct link is the creative team. From is executive produced by Jack Bender and Jeff Pinkner, both of whom worked extensively on Lost (TV Series Finale). Jeff Pinkner was a writer and executive producer on Lost, while Jack Bender directed many episodes, including the iconic finale.
Mystery box storytelling style
Both shows employ the “mystery box” format: an initial strange event (the island crash, the town trap) followed by layers of unanswered questions. Den of Geek (pop culture analysis) notes that From shares “slow reveals and cliffhangers” reminiscent of Lost. The show also uses flashbacks and character-centric episodes.
Differences in pacing and scope
Where Lost sprawled across decades and multiple timelines, From keeps its focus on a single town and a shorter time frame. The monsters are physical and present every night, unlike Lost‘s more abstract smoke monster. According to Collider (entertainment news), Pinkner’s involvement “draws direct comparisons” but the show is “faster-paced and more contained.”
Three differences, one pattern: From delivers answers more quickly than Lost ever did.
A direct comparison clarifies the two shows’ approaches.
| Attribute | From | Lost |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Single mysterious town | Island with shifting locations |
| Monsters | Physical humanoid creatures, nightly threat | Smoke monster, MiB, others – more abstract |
| Pacing | Answers come within a few episodes | Some mysteries spanned entire series |
Faster reveals risk running out of material sooner. From may need to expand its mythology in Season 4 to avoid the same mid-series slump that Lost experienced.
What this means: Season 4 must deliver answers to maintain momentum.
Who is the monster in From?
Description of the monsters
The creatures are humanoid – they walk, talk, and even smile – but they are anything but human. According to the From Wiki (fan community lore database), the monsters “appear at night and mimic human voices to lure victims.” They are impervious to bullets and only slowed by holy symbols or talismans.
How the monsters operate
Monsters cannot enter a building unless someone inside explicitly invites them in – a rule similar to vampire lore. Screen Rant (film/TV explainer site) details how they use deception: they take the form of loved ones or lost children to trick residents into opening doors. Once inside, they kill quickly and brutally.
What the monsters want
Their ultimate goal remains unknown. They appear to enjoy hunting, but they also seem connected to the town’s talismans – mysterious stones that protect houses when hung on walls (From Wiki). Some theories suggest they are imprisoned spirits or failed escapees.
The trade-off: the more we learn, the less simple the answer seems. Season 4 will likely expand the monster mythos.

MGM+ (official series page)
For fans of mystery-box storytelling, the choice is clear: From delivers a tighter, faster-paced version of the kind of puzzle Lost started. With Season 4 on the horizon, the series has a chance to deepen its monster lore and answer long-standing questions. But the clock is ticking – if the next batch of episodes doesn’t resolve some core mysteries, the show risks losing the trust of its audience. For MGM+, the investment is a bet that viewers still love a good slow-burn mystery – as long as the payoff eventually comes.
