Led by Harold Perrineau, From's cast continues to bolster the supernatural horror series with their powerhouse performances, which make the ever-deepening mysteries at the show's center both more accessible and compelling. In From, a small town traps anyone who wanders inside its limits, holding them in an inescapable — and seemingly implausible — purgatory. To make matters worse, bloodthirsty creatures stalk the town at night. In the show's first episode, the Matthews family becomes the town's newest addition. Eager to unravel the mysteries that other townspeople have grown accustomed to, the family leads to the charge to escape.
With From’s haunting nursery rhyme, while Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) stumbles upon a mysterious lighthouse, which could be a portal out of the Township. That said, From's third outing promises more thrills, chills, and answers. Armed with an ensemble of intriguing characters, the MGM+ series is sure to continue its pattern of creating a truly singular narrative.
