This article contains From season 4 episode 1 spoilers.“I thought the whole idea was brilliant,” From star Harold Perrineau tells Den of Geek in the days leading up to the show’s season 4 premiere. “You’d never expect that.”He’s talking, of course, about The Man in the Yellow Suit’s latest insidious move on From’s beleaguered Township. At the climax of season 3, he’d warned Jim (Eion Bailey) and Julie (Hannah Cheramy) that “knowledge comes with a cost” and ripped Jim’s throat out, but for anyone who thought the show’s most mysterious malevolent entity would take a break from his horrifying machinations after Jim’s shocking death, there was a surprise in store.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});The fourth season premiere kicks off right where we left off, with The Man in the Yellow Suit dismissing people as “fragile things” and chatting to a dying Jim, admitting that he always liked him and that it’s a shame he won’t get to see what’s about to happen, because that’s his “favorite part.” This is as ominous and vague as you’d expect from the old geezer, but it’s safe to say we never saw his next move coming.After he digs up a suitcase and grins with anticipation, a new arrival crashes their car straight into the Sheriff’s Station. Boyd Stevens (Perrineau) and his friends immediately come to the rescue, helping to extract an unconscious pastor and his injured passenger, who turns out to be a sheltered and vulnerable girl called Sofia (Julia Doyle). She frets about her father’s condition, but when she finally wakes him, there’s a shocking revelation: Sofia isn’t the pastor’s daughter; she’s The Man in the Yellow Suit in disguise.“Julia is so good as Sofia,” Perrineau enthuses about the latest big addition to the cast. “She’s got just the right amount of totally sweet, but a little crazy in her eyes. She’s just perfect for [the role].”With The Man in the Yellow Suit having now infiltrated the Township and teasing that its denizens are about to “tear themselves apart,” you’d assume that MGM+’s cult horror show was finally heading toward its conclusion. Perrineau says there were different time scales in mind for wrapping up the show, but the creative team knew how it would end. “When I first got the job, they mentioned that it was best as a five-season show, but they could end it in four, or go to six,” he explains. “I know that they have a specific ending, and we haven’t gotten there just yet.” Hours after speaking with him, MGM+ confirms that From has been renewed for a fifth and final season.Perrineau still seems to be having a lot of fun playing Boyd, a retired US Army veteran and the de facto leader of the cursed town, though he admits his character has been through a lot. “He has a dogged need to finish his task, and his task is to save everybody. He’s a man of service, so that is what he’s going to do, or he will lose his life trying. His weakness is that he’s human, and he’s up against something that we don’t even understand, that’s supernatural, otherworldly. How do you compete against that? He’s getting older. He’s got Parkinson’s. The man has been shot, stabbed, all the things, but the other part of him is his spirit to win and to survive and to save all the people there. I think those are the things that serve him best.”We also couldn’t help but ask Perrineau what we can expect from the season 4 finale, given the unexpectedly shocking opening episode.“Just wait,” he says with a smile. “Just wait.”From season 4 premieres new episodes Sundays on MGM+.The post From Season 4: Harold Perrineau Talks Episode 1’s Big Reveal and the End of the Show appeared first on Den of Geek.
