Evil season 3 will premiere in the summer of 2022 on Paramount+. Debuting on CBS in September 2019 before moving to the Paramount+ streaming service for season 2, the supernatural drama focuses on the forensic psychologist Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) as she works with Catholic assessor David Acosta (Mike Colter) and contractor Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi) to investigate cases that could potentially have a supernatural bent. The series regularly blends a case-of-the-week structure with more longstanding and increasingly complex mythology, gaining some comparisons to The X-Files in the process.
Evil season 2 continued on the general success of the initial batch of episodes. With its move to Paramount+, and an early renewal announcement for season 3, the show was able to rely on more explicit and mature storytelling. Evil was also able to take more narrative risks, such as a largely silent episode that garnered praise from critics and audiences alike. This was reflected in a number of year-ending retrospectives, which lauded the streaming drama as a frequently surprising and inventive hour of television.

Now, as part of the TCA presentation for Paramount+, it was announced that Evil season 3 will be debuting on the streaming service in summer 2022.

Consisting of 13 episodes, and releasing on a weekly schedule, season 2 concluded in October. If the same holds for Evil season 3, fans could be looking at a spooky summer that continues into Halloween.
