Horror TV Show With 96% Rotten Tomatoes Score Becomes Streaming Success

The horror genre continues to be a major draw for audiences in movie theaters and on streaming. Most discussion of horror, however, is usually limited to movies, as there are far fewer TV shows in the genre that manage to break through. Though the 2000s was somewhat barren when it came to horror on the small screen, this changed in the 2010s. American Horror Story has been going strong now since 2011, for example, and Channel Zero ran for four seasons starting in 2016. The Walking Dead universe also remains popular.

The rise of horror on TV really took off, however, with the rise of streaming and, specifically, the rise of Mike Flanagan. Flanagan brought shows like The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass, among others to life. Streaming allows filmmakers to push horror boundaries on TV, as has been seen recently with Teacup on Peacock. There’s another horror show, though, which has been flying under the radar and delivering some genuine scares.

From Finds Renewed Success On Streaming

The Horror Show Succeeds With Viewers After Season 3 Premiere

From has become a major hit on streaming as new episodes of season 3 are released. First airing in 2022 and created by John Griffin, the MGM+ horror show follows the residents of a town in the U.S. who are unable to leave as they fend off the sinister threats of the forest that surrounds them. Harold Perrineau leads the show’s cast Boyd Stevens, with Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, and Elizabeth Saunders also starring. From season 3 premiered in September, earning positive reviews and contributing to the show’s 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

As new episodes of From season 3 continue to be released, new data from Reelgood reveals that From ranks as the eighth most popular show on streaming in the U.S. for the week of October 24 – 30. The show beats other titles like Matlock and Rivals, but falls short of other TV shows like The Lincoln Lawyer, Lioness, High Potential, and, in first place, Only Murders in the Building.

What From’s Streaming Popularity Means For Season 4’s Chances

Will The MGM+ Show Be Renewed?

Season 3 may be propelling the show to streaming success on Reelgood’s charts, but From season 4 hasn’t yet gotten the green light. Though some extremely popular shows are renewed before seasons finish airing (or before they’ve even premiered), the MGM+ show has thus far been renewed after each season has been fully released. Since there are still three episodes to go in season 3, a season 4 announcement may still be more than a month away.

The strong streaming performance accompanies From season 3’s 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and reviews praise the show for its scares, unpredictable storytelling, and performances. It’s unclear if From season 3 will end on a cliffhanger or not, but things are looking promising for the show’s future.
