9 Mystery Shows Like From to Watch While You Wait for Season 3
The MGM+ horror series From premiered in February 2022 and was quickly renewed for a second season, and then a third following its continued success in creeping out viewers and creating many twists. From unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest — including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.
After season 2’s crazy cliffhanger in June 2023, escape will become a very real possibility in season 3 as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the horrors surrounding them. Season 3 will premiere on September 22 on MGM+.
The series stars Harold Perrineau (Lost, Claws) leading an ensemble cast which includes Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace, The Affair), Eion Bailey (Band of Brothers, Once Upon a Time), Hannah Cheramy (Under Wraps, Van Helsing), Simon Webster (Strays, Chucky), Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot (Charity, Skin), Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls, Slasher), Pegah Ghafoori (The Perfect Wedding), David Alpay (Castle Rock, The Tudors), Elizabeth Saunders (Mary Kills People, Clarice), Elizabeth Moy and Avery Konrad (Sacred Lies, Honor Society).
Season 2 added new series regulars including Scott McCord (East of Middle West), Nathan D. Simmons (Moonshine), Kaelen Ohm (Hit & Run, Eumenides Falls), Angela Moore (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maid), AJ Simmons (Beacon 23, Reacher), and Deborah Grover (My Next Door Nightmare, Jann).
