Some Good News And Some Bad News About ‘FROM' Season 4 Release Date On MGM+
It feels like ages since the Season 3 finale of FROM, MGM+'s awkwardly titled but incredibly entertaining horror series, dropped back in November, 2024. The season finale left us all reeling, with some huge revelations, twists and one terrifying character death.
Ever since, we've been wondering when Season 4 would drop and whether we were in for a long wait. There hasn't been much news other than the fact that filming would begin sometime in 2025 and the first episode is slated to air in 2026. I was hopeful that it would be early 2026, but we're already nearing the end of June and this has grown incredibly unlikely.
Now, actors on the show are posting to their social media accounts that filming has at last begun on the new season in Nova Scotia. Simon Webster (who plays Ethan Matthews) posted a photo of himself in a trailer on-set and Liz Saunders (who plays Donna) shared the news to her Instagram as well.
This is good news, obviously, and means we're on the road back to Fromville. The bad news is that this means we definitely won't be getting the new season in January or February like I'd hoped. I'd guess that we're looking at April, 2026 at the earliest (Season 1 was an April release) or June/July at the latest (like Season 2). Worst case scenario would be October/November (like Season 3) but I doubt we'll see it pushed that far back with filming already underway.
Of course, there is no set release date so this is speculation on my part. Creator John Griffin has said of Season 4, "With the culmination of season 3 we have, in many ways, reached the end of the beginning. In season 4, a new journey begins. The question is whether it will lead our characters home, or deeper into this unrelenting nightmare."
Deeper into the nightmare, obviously. FROM is MGM+'s biggest hit and I'm confident it will continue to be renewed until all they've told the whole story and (most of) our questions are answered (mostly). If only Amazon would put this on Prime Video or license it to Netflix, this could be a major hit.
FROM tells the story of a mysterious town, referred to only as The Town (or Fromville) where people from all over the country find themselves stranded, unable to leave, and haunted by dark forces. Evil monsters hunt on the townsfolk at night, and deeper, more terrifying evil lurks below. The residents struggle to survive all while trying to untangle the mystery of the Town and how they can escape. Like the Hotel California, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Season 3, like every season before it, was something of a mixed bag, with a few episodes in the middle dragging, but overall I really enjoyed it, with the back-half of the season really ramping up the intensity and leading to some very compelling fan theories. It's been a grueling wait for Season 4, but it looks like we'll just have to wait a bit longer than we hoped.
Que sera sera.

Inside Eli Roth's Bloody Brave Plan to Revive Hollywood: Go Directly to Theater Owners With Movies That Scare the S— Out of Him
Eli Roth has spent decades in the entertainment industry, but he's still chasing the high of telling his schoolyard friends about the wild new movie he just saw. 'If someone had given me this tape in seventh grade and I watched it, would I be running around telling all my friends, 'We gotta watch this again right now'?' he says. ''You're coming over after school' and I'm gonna watch their reaction watching it. On a very basic level, that is still how I gauge these movies. Is this something that I want to call Quentin [Tarantino] and go, 'Dude, dude, dude, you gotta see this'?' More from Variety Buzzy Festival Hit 'Dream Eater' Sets Theatrical Release via Eli Roth's The Horror Section, Reveals Trailer (EXCLUSIVE) 'Hostel' TV Series From Eli Roth and Starring Paul Giamatti Lands at Peacock for Development (EXCLUSIVE) Eli Roth's 'Ice Cream Man' Scooped Up by More Global Buyers After Cannes Market Debut (EXCLUSIVE) That mindset is the impetus behind The Horror Section, Roth's new scary movie company. Earlier this year, the organization made headlines when Roth offered regular fans a chance to invest. Nearly 2,500 people joined during the March launch period, pledging anywhere from $100 to $1 million. Although there have been several announcements about Horror Section plans so far — including financing Roth's next original film, 'Ice Cream Man' — its first project is gearing up to hit theaters. The Horror Section's initial acquisition title was 'Jimmy & Stiggs,' a gory, bonkers alien film written and directed by Joe Begos opened Friday on around 800 screens. While Begos has made a name for himself among the indie horror community with films like 2019's 'VFW' and 2022's 'Christmas Bloody Christmas,' 'Jimmy & Stiggs' is an entirely different beast. 'Ti West called me and said, 'Have you seen Joe's movie?'' Roth says. 'He goes, 'He made an old school, early-Peter Jackson movie. He shot it on film, it's all practical effects and it's pretty insane, and it might be right for your company.' I hadn't even thought about releasing other people's movies — we were going to distribute our own films.' Yet 'Jimmy & Stiggs' gave Roth that same feeling he's been chasing since childhood. 'I was blown away,' he says. 'Rarely do I watch a movie that makes me say, 'How the fuck did they do that?' I loved it. It really reminded me of when I saw 'Dead Alive' in the theaters, or that time when I was 15 and I saw 'Evil Dead 2' unrated. They just melt your brain. You can't believe someone made a movie that wet, that violent, that insane, that unhinged.' So Roth reached out to the team at Iconic Events about getting extreme horror in theaters, and the partners headed to CinemaCon in April with the hope of speaking to theater owners. Sure enough, he was able to set up a flurry of meetings. 'What really shocked me was that I could sit down and talk to the theater owners,' Roth says. 'They just set up meetings for me at CinemaCon, and for an entire day from 7:00 a.m. on, I met with every theater chain. They said, 'We'd love this. We would definitely do it if it says 'Eli Roth Presents.' We'll put it in our multiplexes.' We're talking AMC, Cinemark, Marcus, IPic, Alamo … all of them.' Roth says he also was eager to work with the theaters to create additional perks to incentivize moviegoers and make the theater proprietors feel special as well. In order to interest owners, Roth pushed for a theatrical-first experience that doesn't rush films to VOD after just 18 days. He also included custom theater greetings for individual chains and theaters, and non-English messaging as well. For fans, there are unique extras. 'Jimmy & Stiggs' includes fake trailers from Roth (like his 'Thanksgiving' clip from 2007's 'Grindhouse') as well as a post-screening mini-making of documentary shot in Begos' apartment. 'I was blending the line between being a distributor and a director and presenting and on camera,' Roth says. 'I realized how important it is to talk to the theater chains so they see how much you care about their business. I know filmmakers care by the virtue of making the movies, but if you're an actor or a director or producer and you want them to give you front-and-center treatment, you'd be smart to sit down with them. I didn't have those relations. But we couldn't believe how many people wanted to sit down with me. 'These are all the movies I'm going to make.' And then they went, 'This is awesome. If you give us these movies, we'll give you great treatment.' I will live and die by theaters — hopefully live — and people will come out and see you. We live to fight another day.' Beyond the possibility of box office success, Roth wants to help support the careers of ambitious young filmmakers. He cites the poster of his 2006 film 'Hostel' — which was emblazoned with 'Quentin Tarantino Presents' at the top — as a major turning point in his career. 'Quentin putting his name on 'Hostel' was like the most popular kid in high school being like, 'Hey, want to ride in my car?' Then you're in the front seat,' Roth says. 'Everyone's nice to you because you suddenly you have the stamp of approval from the coolest kid in school. It's great to be in a position to do that for the next wave. I want to see more movies from these people, so as much as I want them to succeed, I want them in a position where they can go and make more.' Watch the 'Jimmy & Stiggs' trailer below.

Denver astronaut considered for the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress
A bill by Colorado's Rep. Joe Neguse and Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper would award Ed Dwight the Congressional Gold Medal. Dwight is the first Black astronaut candidate and oldest man to go into space. The 91-year-old has also owned several successful businesses during his extraordinary life and is a nationally renowned sculptor. He says, in many ways, his destiny was written by his mom. "She had this thing beat into my brain that anybody who had the advantage either educationally or financially owed it to the rest of the community," he said. That principle has guided him throughout his life. He says when President John F. Kennedy asked him to join the astronaut training program in 1961, he didn't want it. His mom said it wasn't about what he wanted. "She said 'You better get out and do this. We need this as an inspiration for the Black community,'" he said. But Dwight says progress turned to prejudice and racism after Kennedy was assassinated, causing him to resign. Forced to reinvent himself, he took a job at IBM in Colorado, where he says he was tapped to be the company's first Black vice president. "I said been through that first Black thing once and it didn't work out so well," he said. He became his own boss instead, running an aviation consulting business, restaurants, and a real estate and construction company. "We had Learjets flying all over the country," he said. In his free time, he started sculpting. "At the end of the day, I'd get in my Mercedes and drive to (construction) sites and pick up all the metal that was laying aroud and I started making art," Dwight said. His artwork caught the eye of Colorado's first Black lieutenant governor, George Brown, who asked Dwight to do a sculpture for the state capitol. "He told me 'You owe the world something,'" said Dwight. "We've got to spread the word. We've got to have art in almost every city to remind both the Black and the White communities that Black folks did something in this country." Once again, Dwight was called to put the greater good first. "So, I got rid of all my companies and ended up where I am today," he said. He is an acclaimed artist who has created nearly 20,000 gallery pieces and more than 130 memorials dedicated to Black history. "I'm a pretty happy guy," he says. But his life wasn't quite complete until last year, when he was offered a seat on Blue Origin. "I said that I didn't care whether I went up or not. I lied," he said. It was a moment he had trained for but, he wasn't prepared for what he saw. "Look at that beautiful little place down there, how organized it is, how well ordered it is," he said, referring to the Earth from space. Ed Dwight -- a man acutely aware of how ugly the world can be -- saw beauty. He isn't the first Black astronaut but, he is the oldest to go into space. Dwight is being considered for a Congressional Gold Medal for his achievements in aviation and art. He isn't holding his breath. "What we're faced with is forcing people to remember things," he said. Things that were meant to break Ed Dwight. But he rose above it all, and lifted others with him. He's been called a space pioneer living legend, and trailblazer but, he has a different idea for his legacy. "I'm just a guy who wants to make this a better world, better for everybody -- Black folks, White folks, everybody." The Fellowship Community of Vikki Buckley is holding a celebration of Ed Dwight Saturday, Aug. 16, from 2-4 p.m. at the Assistant League of Denver Event Center. It is open to the public.
