Debuting on CBS in September 2019, and moving to Paramount+ in June 2021, the premise mixes case-of-the-week episodes that usually involve an unexplainable or supernatural component and a more consequential overall story arc. It was announced earlier that Evil would end with a shortened season 5.

Ahead of Evil season 4, which will debut May 23 on Paramount+, What’s On Netflix confirms that multiple seasons of the horror series will be coming to the streaming service in the U.S. starting on April 30. There is no word yet on the exact number of seasons that will be available, but it will include at least the first two seasons and possibly the third. Evil will remain available on Paramount+, as well.
