***The following is a detailed recap of episode 401 of FROM, “The Arrival,” and it contains spoilers for the episode.***

The episode opens where the season finale ended, with Julie having watched her father get his throat sliced by the Man in Yellow. He questions that no one told her there’s no way to change a story once it’s been told and turns towards Jim. When he turns back, she’s gone. He tells Jim it’s a shame he won’t get to see what happens next, because it’s his favorite part and asks if he’d like to know why.

A car with Alabama plates pulls up to a fallen tree, and a pastor gets out and looks around and then gets back in the car.

Ellis and Boyd ask Fatima more about what she found out, and she tells them that she knows the monsters sacrificed their children and that they were people once. They made a bargain with something horrible, but she didn’t see what it was. They tell her they need to get out of there, but she doesn’t want to leave Boyd, who had followed the woman in the kimono into the tunnels. Kenny says he will find him, and Ellis helps her up as Kenny heads down the stairs and into the cave.

In the caves Kenny runs into Boyd, who immediately tells him that they have to get out of there, however, it’s too late, as a bloody Smiley has come up behind him. He tells Kenny that it’s nice to see him again. Boyd yells at Kenny to move and they make it back up the steps and shut the trap door. Kenny is confused, because he knows they burned his body. Boyd tells him how he watched Fatima’s baby grow and stand up and smile.

FROM follows a group of residents trapped in a town they can never leave, trying to unravel the mystery of the town as they fight to survive nightmarish creatures that come out at night and other threats from the surrounding forest.

Sunday, the highly-anticipated fourth season comes to MGM+. In the new season, the group learns that knowledge comes at a cost, and as some new people arrive in town, things quickly go from bad to worse.

At the end of last season, Harold Perrineau, who stars as Sheriff Boyd Stevens, tortured Elgin (Nathan D. Simmons) in order to find out where he was holding his pregnant daughter-in-law, Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori) captive. Will those actions still affect him this season as he continues to try to hold the town together? According to Perrineau, who recently spoke with SciFi Vision, he did what he had to. “There’s no way that he wanted to do that,” the actor told the site. “…but it is the burden of the self-appointed leader to try to figure it out. So, that’s going to sit with him when they get out or if they don’t, like it’s going to last forever. But I think he believes he’s doing everything that he has to do in order to achieve his mission, which is to get everyone home again.”

People could react differently if the truth comes out. “It feels like a little microcosm of what's going on in our society right now," said Perrineau. “You can find out some of the worst things about anybody, and there’re going to be so many different sides that people are going to take. And I think that's exactly what could and will happen with Boyd, which is the reason that we keep watching it.”

This season on Daredevil: Born Again, the battle of wills between Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) has only escalated. Caught in the middle of that power struggle is Vanessa (Aylet Zurer), whose place in Fisk’s world has become more precarious as the stakes continue to rise.

In last week’s episode Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) made his move on Fisk during the charity boxing match, but it was his wife who paid the ultimate price when she was struck in the head by a shard of glass. Although at first surviving, in the most recent episode, she later dies at the hospital.

According to Zurer, who recently spoke to SciFi Vision about her final episodes, she and Fisk had been moving towards this kind of outcome for awhile. “I think the whole season, what's going on is that maybe Vanessa is beginning to think that there is no end to the game,” she explained. “Nothing will be enough, and I think what hurts most is that maybe she's not enough and she will not be able to take him off the game and go to some island.”

Her character however, moved towards the inevitable rather than away from it. “Once the feeling of dread coming in with the sort of intense knowing that she's being hunted and knowing who is hunting her, she, I believe, is taking one step towards making it happen rather than waiting for the trap.”

At this year’s WonderCon, Giorgia Whigham was just as excited to be a fan as she was a featured guest. Discussing her hopes to sneak onto the convention floor - potentially under a mask to avoid a total fan frenzy - the actress who plays the sharp-witted Blaire Bennett sat down to discuss why Season 2 of Ted is the perfect escape for audiences right now.

For many actors, filming on a historic studio lot is a career milestone. For Whigham, it was a homecoming. Having grown up in Los Angeles with an unlimited pass to Universal Studios Hollywood, she spent her weekends riding every attraction, always saving the legendary Tram Tour for last.

"It’s been very full circle," Whigham shared, describing the experience of finally working on the lot as a dream come true. To her, the studio isn't just a set; it’s a place where you can "feel the ghosts of Hollywood." That sense of nostalgia and "Old Hollywood" magic colored her entire experience, making every day on set feel like part of a larger cinematic legacy.

While Ted is famous for its cartoon-like insanity, Whigham is excited for fans to see the grounded evolution of the Bennett family, specifically the relationship between Blaire and Matty (Scott Grimes). This season, Giorgia describes the scenes between the two are "a lot deeper," moving beyond simple shouting matches. Whigham praised Grimes as a "brilliant actor," noting that a great deal of thought went into their characters’ growth. "Maturity comes from the character listening to the other person’s side," Whigham noted. "Not agreeing, but understanding other people do exist outside of their own personal thing."

MGM+ Renews Hit Series FROM for a Fifth and Final Season

FROM Is the Most Watched Series in MGM+ History

Season Four of the Sci-Fi Horror Hit Premieres April 19 on MGM+ With Season 5 Expected in 2027

A joint statement from the executive producers is available HERE

LOS ANGELES—April 15, 2026— Premium linear channel and streaming service MGM+ announced today that it has renewed FROM for a fifth and final season. FROM is the most-viewed series in the history of the network and launches its fourth season on April 19.
 
Created by John Griffin (Crater) and executive produced by Griffin, showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Lost, Alias, Fringe), and director Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones, The Institute), FROM continues to unravel the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter.
 
"We are wildly excited to announce that we've officially begun work on season 5,” said Pinkner, Griffin and Bender in a joint statement. “Which means we will get the chance to see our story to its conclusion. Which means questions will be answered. Answers will be questioned. And there will surely be a cascade of tears and terrors in-between. We are thankful for the support of our friends and partners at MGM+. And we are grateful beyond measure for the mad passion of our entire FROMily. We’re excited to share season 4 with you and hope it whets your appetite for what’s to come."

For Max Burkholder, who plays the young John Bennett on Peacock’s hit series Ted, the experience of watching the show’s second season is a bit like looking at a distant memory. With the series having dropped in early March, Burkholder sat down to discuss the strange passage of time in television, the "home" feel of a Los Angeles soundstage, and why nothing in the Seth MacFarlane universe is ever truly off-limits.

While fans are currently binging the new episodes, for Burkholder, the work has been finished for a long time. The cast wrapped production on Season 2 back in late January or early February of 2025 - over a year before it finally hit screens.

"Watching the show and seeing everyone’s reaction to it makes it feel like it is happening to someone else," Burkholder admitted, describing the experience as a form of derealization. It’s a feeling he’s familiar with; he explains that once a project is complete, he often feels it is "none of his business anymore" and no longer identifies with it. Still, he admits it feels "really cool" to see the audience embrace the new season so warmly.

Now a resident of New York, Burkholder enjoyed the rare opportunity to return to his roots for the shoot. "Not enough stuff films in LA anymore," he noted, sharing that he stayed at his parents' house during production.

Season three of FROM ended on a shocking cliffhanger, when Jim (Eion Bailey), left stunned after Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno)’s news of reincarnation, suddenly out of nowhere sees a future version of his daughter, Julie (Hannah Cheramy), appear in a panic, followed by the mysterious Man in Yellow (Doug E. Hughes), who proceeds to rip his throat out in front of her. Season four does a fantastic job of picking up that momentum and carrying it throughout the first six episodes.

Julie’s storywalking continues to play a part the season as she tries to undo the threads that lead to her father’s apparent death and get a better understanding of how her ability works. The events in Julie’s life has made her have to grow up really fast, but I enjoy her perseverance in the face of what could be an unobtainable solution. I also really like how Randall (AJ Simmons) continues to be someone to look out for Julie and has stepped up, slowly starting to redeem himself.

There is of course fallout over the truth about what happened to Jim as Jade and Tabitha wrestle with how far they are willing to go for answers.

Following the early March premiere of Ted Season 2 on Peacock, SciFi Vision sat down with Alanna Ubach, who plays the soft-spoken yet resilient matriarch Susan Bennett.

Filming for Ted wasn't just another day at the office; it was a rare immersion into Hollywood history. Ubach highlighted how unusual it is in the modern industry to film on a major studio lot. "It is very rare to be filming at a studio," Ubach noted, recalling the unique sensory experience of the Universal backlot.

With her trailer parked right next to the legendary Jaws attraction, her workday was punctuated by the sounds of the theme park. Every eight minutes, like clockwork, she would hear the familiar symphony of screaming, laughter, and pure fun from fans on the ride - a constant reminder of the "magic" surrounding the production.

In Season 2, Susan Bennett is working harder than ever to keep the family unit intact. Ubach describes Susan’s journey this year as a game of "whack-a-mole." As her family members cycle through their various crises and antics, Susan is "all over the place," jumping from one problem to the next to keep the household from imploding.

Despite the chaos, Ubach found herself constantly surprised by the scripts. While she initially thought the writers had drawn a line they couldn't possibly cross, she admitted, "Boy, do they surprise you." Working under the creative direction of Seth MacFarlane, she noted that while the subject matter pushes boundaries, she never felt uncomfortable. "When you are working for Seth MacFarlane, you know what you’re signing up for," she shared.

With Season 2 of Ted currently airing, fans are seeing a bolder, funnier version of the Bennett family. For Scott Grimes, who plays the gruff but lovable Matty Bennett, the experience of returning to this world was about more than just the jokes.

If Season 1 established the foundation, Season 2 is where Seth MacFarlane truly let loose. According to Grimes, while the core of the show remains grounded in the comfort of 70s and 80s sitcom tropes - complete with the same furniture, clothes, and character dynamics - the humor has evolved. “The comedy has been upped," Grimes noted. "We did what Seth wanted us to do in Season 1, but we kept it the same...Seth wrote more of what he wanted to write in Season 2."

This "more is more" approach seems to be paying off; Grimes shared that the series is performing even better than the first season since its release in early March.

At 54 years old, Grimes is a veteran of the industry, but filming on the Universal Studios lot in Los Angeles still moves him to tears. Having started his career in LA at the age of 11, walking onto a historic studio lot remains a sacred experience for him.

The Hunting Party follows a team of investigators led by former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh) as they hunt down and capture the worst of the worst serial killers who have escaped from the top-secret government prison known as “The Pit.”

Tonight, on an all-new episode, Josh Dallas reunites with his Manifest costar, playing the role of Elliot Carr, a high-end shoemaker and serial killer known as the Connecticut Cobbler, who made shoes from his victims’ skins. Bex and the team race against the clock to find and catch Carr before more people find themselves flayed.

Recently, Roxburgh and Dallas spoke with SciFi Vision about reuniting for the episode, playing the dynamic between their characters that is very different than that of Manifest, what it was like for Dallas to play the darker parts of the character, and more.
