The mother of the antichrist is about to receive some much-needed support from Veep’s Anna Chlumsky.
TVLine can exclusively reveal that the six-time Emmy nominee has been cast in Evil‘s fourth and final season. Described as “funny, charming, genuine and likable,” Chlumsky’s Ellie is “a guest at the Bouchards’ house for a wake, where she befriends a grieving Kristen.” (Gulp.)
So, whose wake is it? That remains to be seen. We will, however, use this opportunity to remind you that Kristen’s husband Andy was hogtied and brainwashed by Leland and Sheryl in Season 3. Upon returning home, he suffered from fainting spells and visions of demonic creatures, so… make of that what you will.
Additionally, TVLine can confirm that Evil Season 4 has cast Nate Corddry (Sugar) and two-time Tony Award winner Christian Borle (Smash) in guest roles. Corddry will play Paul Jr., a happily married real estate agent with no complaints about life. Yet he feels with certainty that he’s been “consumed by his doppelgänger,” a vlogger who recently died by suicide. “Convinced the spirit of the vlogger is now inside of him, a very tired Paul Jr., no longer able to control his thoughts or actions, agrees with Sister Andrea that he is probably in need of an exorcism.”
Borle, meanwhile, will assume the part of Neil, “a brilliant grad student who gave up his life to become a nurse/private secretary for Johan Taupin, a brilliant physicist who attracts the attention of the Vatican,” per the official character breakdown. “Seemingly never not by his side, Neil is a staunch defender of Johan and does his best to dissuade those who think Johan may be involved with the occult.”
In February, Paramount+ confirmed that Evil would end with Season 4. The final run has been expanded from 10 to 14 episodes, which will roll out weekly.
Following the announcement, series co-creators Robert and Michelle King said they were not planning to shop the show to other networks and streamers, but instead would treat the four bonus episodes as a mini-Season 5.
In addition, Robert King recently told TVLine that the pregnancy revealed at the end of Season 3 is going to play a huge role in upcoming episodes, and questions surrounding the baby would be among the mysteries solved during this last season.
“You’ll know who The 60 are,” he said, referencing the demonic houses depicted on the map of sigils frequently referenced by David, Ben and Kristen. “You’ll know about the fate of Leland, and you’ll know what has happened to that baby that is the product of that egg belonging to Kristen and [Leland].”
Evil Season 4 premieres Thursday on Paramount+. In need of a Season 3 refresher? Sit back, crack open a canned cocktail and watch our three-minute recap below:
Waiting for season 4 of “Evil” has certainly taught me patience. I’m so frustrated that the King’s are giving up on the show. It’s no secret how viewers of this show are totally hooked and would follow it wherever it ends up. I’m sure Max, Hulu or Netflix would snap it up in an instant. I became a Paramount+ subscriber because of “Evil.” Alright, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I wait with baited breath for tomorrow to see the first episode of season 4.
That was my only reason for subscribing to Paramount+, too! I’m excited for season 4, but definitely bummed it’s the last!
I just can’t wait how wrong everyone who watches #Evil are totally wrong about everything all I got to say is when you guys find out who and what David and Ben and Kristen really are 👽🧠 it’s going to blow your minds excuse the pun. Oh by the way Kristen and David did have sex and she’s not married to Andy so funny.💯😈💜🤷🏾♂️🔥
You must be fun at a party.
I hope the final season of Evil will be EVIL. I am tired of Paramount making shows for streaming and with a little editing CBS can use in their prime time slots if one of the regular prime time programs doesn’t make it in its time slot.
Paramount should make streaming programs for streaming only and not as backup material for regular CBS programs.
Evil can be a moderate R rated program with language and scenes we commonly associate with R rated movies. It is now a mild PG-13 program. Make it scarier and more psychologically complex suited for adults instead of a program suited for pre to early teens.
That doppelganger story sounds interesting. And creepy. And the whole “grieving Kristen” thing. Hm.
.
Sounds like some good stuff setting up here, can’t wait to see these storylines play out!
Great series hate to see it end!
I love Christian Borle.
