Sun Sep 15 12:00:00 UTC 2024: ## “Evil” Creators Reveal Plans for Cancelled Season 5: More Demons and a “Good Wife” Crossover
Fans of the supernatural thriller “Evil” are lamenting the cancellation of the show, but showrunners Michelle and Robert King have given a glimpse into what a potential fifth season might have held.
In an interview with TV Insider, the Kings revealed plans for a deeper dive into the demon-infested court system, with characters like Kristen battling supernatural forces within the legal system. This would have built upon the season 4 subplot that saw Leland Townsend, played by Michael Emerson, exploit loopholes in the law while surrounded by demonic allies.
The “Evil” team was also planning to pull in characters from their previous shows “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight” for a meta crossover. Actors like Christine Baranski could have made appearances, blurring the lines between the shows’ universes and adding another layer to the exploration of justice’s fallibility.
While the Kings acknowledge the potential appeal of such a crossover, they also noted plans to further explore the characters’ doppelgängers and the sinister influence of technology on modern life. Ultimately, they believe the show concluded on a strong note, leaving fans with a satisfying ending that delivered on the series’ signature blend of humor, horror, and heart.
Despite its cancellation, “Evil” has left a lasting impact, proving that even in a world of darkness and demons, there’s always room for a touch of the absurd. Fans can revisit the series’ four seasons on Paramount+.
