Netflix is adding the horror sci-fi series FROM to its lineup, dropping the first three seasons on October 19, 2026. The show originally aired on Epix/MGM+ and was created by John Griffin, with Jeff Pinkner as showrunner. It stars Harold Perrineau, known for his role on Lost, as Boyd Stevens, the sheriff trying to control a mysterious town called Fromville where no one can escape. The town’s residents face nightly attacks from grotesque creatures hidden in the surrounding woods, and the series blends horror, mystery, and supernatural elements across its roughly 45- to 60-minute episodes.

The premise of FROM centers on outsiders trapped in Fromville, doomed to remain there no matter which road they take. After dark, sinister beings emerge, forcing survivors to barricade themselves indoors using talismans for protection. The narrative explores the origins of the town’s curse through supernatural symbols, visions, and strange phenomena. Much like Lost, FROM unravels its mystery gradually, layering bizarre and sometimes frustrating plot developments while raising more questions than it answers. Both series share creative talent, including director Jack Bender and showrunner Jeff Pinkner, but FROM has yet to reach its narrative conclusion, with a fifth and final season expected in 2027.

The show’s comparison to Lost is strong, frequently noted by critics and audiences alike. FROM inherits Lost’s “mystery box” storytelling style, where suspense builds around an enigmatic setting and its many cryptic clues—such as mystical creatures, strange languages, and eerie events. Despite the often convoluted and sometimes maddening plotlines, FROM maintains a loyal following eager to see if the final season delivers satisfying answers. The cast includes an ensemble led by Perrineau, alongside Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, and others, creating a rich tapestry of characters navigating the town's horrors.

While FROM is highly recommended for fans of complex, atmospheric horror and sci-fi, viewers should prepare for moments of frustration, especially given the uneven quality of Season 4. The series captivates with its chilling concept and strong performances but occasionally struggles with pacing and coherence. Nevertheless, it’s described as a must-watch for those who crave a blend of suspense and supernatural mystery. With the final season looming, Netflix viewers now have a chance to dive into Seasons 1 to 3 and experience the eerie, unsettling world of FROM firsthand.
