This Streaming Stephen King Show With 88% On RT Is A Great Watch While Waiting For From Season 4 To Release

Warning: this article contains some spoilers for From season 3.MGM+'s series From has become one of the most popular shows available for streaming today, but the November 2024 end of season 3 has left audiences wanting more. The horror show centers on a mysterious town where monstrous creatures lurk in the dark and the inhabitants find themselves unable to leave. From's cast is led by Lost alum Harold Perrineau as Boyd Stevens, who leads the town while searching for a way out. While the series initially focused more on the group's survival against the creatures, as From has progressed, the mysteries of its town have deepened even further.

Unsurprisingly, given the complexities of the plot and the great performances, From season 3 received great reviews. From is among the best modern horror shows, both in terms of its actual scares and its intriguing plot. In particular, season 3 explored the town's past in more depth, including the origins of the monsters and the reincarnation of Tabitha and Jade. While From season 3's ending created just as many new questions as it solved, luckily season 4 is already confirmed. In the meantime, there is a Stephen King-inspired show that is perfect for fans of From.

Why From Fans Should Check Out Castle Rock

It Is A Great Alternative Horror Show With Several Similarities

Fans of From will love Castle Rock because of its similar town setting and great horror aspects. Castle Rock is based on the popular Stephen King location used throughout several of the author's books and stories, and it depicts some of King's characters while also creating new characters to incorporate into the mysteries of the town. Like From, Castle Rock is very highly rated, holding an overall Rotten Tomatoes critical approval rating of 88% across its two seasons. The series does a great job of delving deeply into each character's story while simultaneously weaving each story together.

The biggest difference between the two series is that Castle Rock's story arcs each last one season, meaning that seasons 1 and 2 are two separate, self-contained stories. However, this format actually works really well, as each story is perfectly wrapped up by the season's end. Season 1 largely focuses on the return of lawyer Henry Deaver, who left Castle Rock as a child, as he unravels the mystery surrounding his father's death. Season 2 follows a young Annie Wilkes as she moves into Castle Rock amidst the growing presence of a supernatural cult.

From Already Has One Advantage Over Castle Rock

The Series Has The Potential To Keep Growing

Despite Castle Rock's success with critics, From already has one massive advantage over the older show. From has the potential to keep gaining fans because it is already longer-runner, especially considering that From season 4 has already been confirmed. While Castle Rock is undeniably great in its two seasons and the anthology format means that the stories finish nicely, it was unfortunately canceled by Hulu after two seasons. The series simply couldn't compete with the more popular shows of the time.

From's numerous seasons are a huge advantage for the horror series, because viewers are now invested in the characters and the mysteries of the town.

In contrast, From's format allows its stories to grow further and become more complex as the series continues. Compared to the anthology series, From has had 3 seasons to develop its characters and complete a lot of world building. From's numerous seasons are a huge advantage for the series, because viewers are now invested in the characters and the mysteries of the town. The long-running format of From with four confirmed seasons is a reflection of how well the series has been received, and it creates hope that the series can continue to be successful in the future as well.

What We Know About From Season 4

It Could Be A While Until From Season 4 Hits Screens

While viewers can get excited that From season 4 is in the works, it may still be a while before audiences actually get to watch the new season. Currently, From season 4 is scheduled to film during 2025, meaning that it will likely receive a 2026 release date. However, when in 2026 this release will be is still unknown. Additionally, following Jim's shocking death at the end of season 3, season 4's cast may see some slight changes as well. Though, luckily, the majority of the main cast is scheduled to return as expected.

In terms of plot, From season 4 is likely to throw in some unexpected twists as the previous seasons have done, but audiences can also expect that the characters' stories will be continued satisfactorily. Given the shocking revelations of season 3, especially regarding reincarnation and the rebirth of the monsters, the town's inhabitants will likely continue exploring the town's history, which may provide some of the answers they have been looking for. While Castle Rock is a great series to watch while waiting for From season 4, it is certainly exciting to consider the possibilities for the new season.
