New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Evil - Season Four/Series Finale

Evil has literally just concluded. Originally streaming on CBS, before moving to Paramount+ for the seasons two to four. 

Starring Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi as three individuals from vastly different backgrounds who are tasked by the Catholic Church to investigate possible supernatural incidents.

The series after being renewed for a fourth season, was announced that the fourth season was scheduled to premiere mid-May. Following this announcement, another one, that it would be followed by a shortened, four-episode fifth and final season, which is set to premiere the week after the end of season 4.

So it's the finale, finale of a longer Paramount+ series. One of the only series I currently watch on the streamer. Paramount is in a bit of cash trouble right now and back home here in Australia runs network 10. They are the first station to set their upfront date, in a few Mondays.


So what happens at the end of Evil? SPOILER ALERTS! After some last minute Leland drama, there is a slight time jump.

Kristen and the girls call Ben from Italy. Still no word on Patrick Brammall (Colin from Accounts) as Kristen's estranged husband. Who was only featured a very small amount in the final season.

Ben rolls up the anti-djinn backdrop in his apartment, they talk about how he’ll come visit soon. Then she hangs up and sends the girls home so she can get back to work. 

As Kristen glances at Timothy in his stroller, his eyes get all white and demonic. Then he grins a smile full of evil-looking, sharp teeth. David meets her and, off her perplexed look, asks if anything is wrong. 

She smiles, pops a pacifier in the kid’s mouth as she says everything’s great, and they stroll together in Vatican City.

It all ended a little too soon, despite the fact they were given four extra episodes, and the news of the finale, finale ahead of time. Personally the earlier episodes were a little slow. A little dull.

I was wanting a bit more in this the final season. There were some good cases in amongst the bad. However the procedural did start to wear thin. I think Paramount+ did the right thing ending this series for good. It had very little new ground to cover. Where will it feature on New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming RATED list? That is coming soon! Can you believe Spring is basically already here!
