Season overview

Evil is an American supernatural drama television series created by Robert and Michelle King. The show premiered on September 26, 2019, on CBS. The narrative follows a skeptical forensic psychologist named Kristen Bouchard who teams up with a priest-in-training named David Acosta and a technology expert named Ben Shakir. Together, this trio explores the line where science ends and the supernatural begins. They investigate various occurrences, including angel sightings, demonic possessions, prophecies, and conspiracies, by reviewing the Catholic Church's files on occult phenomena. The team works to determine if these events have rational, scientific explanations or if they are truly supernatural in nature. As they dive into the evil humanity is capable of, the characters face challenges that test their faiths and push them to their limits, revealing that the darkness in the world may run deeper than they initially believed. The series features an ensemble cast led by Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi. Following its initial run on CBS, the series moved to Paramount+ for subsequent seasons. The show is categorized under the genres of crime, drama, mystery, suspense, and horror.
