In the age of cancellations, you never know which of your favorite shows will make it and which will end before a satisfying conclusion to the story can be told. So many great TV shows have been axed before their prime.
Not so with MGM’s excellent horror Lost-like FROM, which has just been renewed for Season 3. The announcement isn’t exactly a surprise. Given that MGM+ is one of the lesser-known streaming services, a hit like FROM is a pretty big deal. It’s the second-most viewed show on MGM+ right after Forest Whitaker’s Godfather of Harlem.
We learned a few more details about Season 3 in the announcement as well. For one, the next season will release in 2024, though no specific date has been provided.
Second, MGM and the show’s creators are promising more answers in Season 3.
“The first two seasons of FROM captivated critics and terrified and engaged fans, who have formed a thriving online community that is trying to put the pieces together week by week as the secrets of the nightmarish town—and possibly beyond—are slowly revealed,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+ in a press release. “We can’t wait for fans to see the surprises ahead in Season Three, which promises more scares and mysteries, but also more answers.”
“We’re so grateful for the support of our fans and FROMily this season. We have a lot more story to tell … and shocking, weird roads to take you on, with plenty of answers along the way,” said Jack Bender, executive producer, and director in the same press release.
Lots of reassurance in those two quotations, which makes me chuckle. You can almost hear them between the lines shouting “Trust us this won’t be another Lost!”
One last interesting detail can help shed a little light on what to expect from the Season 3 plot:
Created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater) and executive produced by showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Lost, Alias, Fringe), and director Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones), the series unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. In the wake of Season Two’s epic cliffhanger, escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them. The series is set to return in 2024.
I like the sound of this! The true nature of the town comes into focus and the townspeople finally go on the offensive. Will they also please, please for the love of all that is holy (or unholy, for that matter) have a damn townhall meeting where they can compare notes on all the weird crazy stuff everyone is seeing! Put your heads together, folks!
Anyways, I’m loving this show and I can’t wait for Season 3. I’ll have another post about some of the ways I think the show could improve in the next season as well, so stay tuned to this blog.
