Evil fans have been waiting for season two to arrive on CBS, but the thriller series may soon have a new home. Per Deadline, Evil may land on Paramount+ for its second season. Similar deals have been discussed for the yet-to-be-renewed SEAL Team and Clarice.
Evil comes from Robert and Michelle King who are well-liked by CBS and Paramount+. The duo is behind The Good Fight and more.
The following was said about the potential move to Paramount+ for Evil:
“Evil, one of the best reviewed new broadcast series of the 2019-20 season, has a lot in common with Clarice. Both are serialized and have failed to draw strong linear ratings in the Thursday 10 PM hour (Evil averaged 6.29 total million viewers on CBS last season) but have done well on digital. And both come from top producers on the CBS Studios roster that helped launch Paramount+ predecessor CBS All Access, the Kings with The Good Fight and Clarice‘s Alex Kurtzman with the Star Trek universe.”
A premiere date for season two of Evil has not been set. The series was to return as part of the 2020-21 season but was delayed due to the pandemic.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Evil? Would you watch season two if it moved from CBS to Paramount+?
Nope. Not doing it. Too bad. Enjoyed the show but enough is enough.
I agree! My cable rates keep going up & I don’t get anything new or better for the additional cost. Why not move Survivor or Big Brother’s House over to Paramount + & leave the scripted shows on the broadcast channel. There are enough worthless & repetitive cable channels that we are already paying for! This is simply another example of corporate greed on CBS’s part.
No, I definitely don’t want to pay extra for EVIL. I tried to join CBS all access some time ago, but then there was some technical problem after a short bit. I tried to join because I like Star Trek shows and the Twilight Zone. In my opinion, this streaming service is really for those who watch shows on their cell phones for their own convenience. Most of their shows already are shown on TV. I don’t know why they changed their name from CBS all access to Paramount+. Was that supposed to help their ratings? However I may give… Read more »
I agree with the others who will refuse to subscribe to their pay network. Interestingly, over the past year I’ve ceased watching at least five CBS shows. Yet the very ones I’m still interested in, they want me to start paying for. They are on the verge of me not watching CBS at all. Hopefully their scheme to fleece viewers will backfire.
Please don’t move Evil to Paramount! I have been waiting to watch season 2 but will not be watching it if it moves to Paramount!
No not going to pay to watch on paramount. Good lord, we pay enough for shows now!!
AMEN!!! I am sick of all these Networks adding their own additional paid streaming services in addition to what we already have to pay for Cable Television for their base network channel. I’m about ready to just cancel everything and go back to reading books and playing video games. They don’t care about what their loyal viewers want.
Ohhh… and don’t forget, they already had CBS All Access that cost extra too? Is Paramount+ replacing that, or are they trying to sucker people into both? Greedy execs are ruining what was a great network.
It’s just a new name.
Do what I did, get rid of cable and just get high speed internet. Get a firestick or Apple TV box, or both. It’s easy. I pay a couple of bucks less for no commercials. Then I watch what I want when I want. Paramount+ and Hulu give me all the network shows and Netflix and Amazon prime (already included with my prime membership) give me a great amount of content. Also, since I have apple products I haven’t had to pay for apple+ yet. Btw, paramount+ has some great original shows. If you’re a Star Trek fan you should… Read more »
Yeah, not paying extra to watch the show. 🙁
EVIL deserves better! CBS has plenty of dead weight they can get rid of to make room for Evil…Always trying to cheat the Public and viewers.That’s exactly why the Networks are all suffering now..well deserved!
They’re just trying to force people into getting this service that they don’t want because it’s not as popular as others, not to mention people already pay for TV. I don’t watch Evil but I can see this becoming a trend for a lot of their shows that maybe aren’t huge performers, and that’s gonna tick people off.
Note, I won’t pay more for your shows. I pay enough for cable. I will wait until you show them on regular TV like you did many years later for Star Trek Discovery.
This REDICULOUS people already pay high fees for cable and NOW you want people to pay more for Paramount + to watch your shows. Well I can’t pay anymore than I am already so you will be losing a lot of viewers. It’s one thing if a show starts on Paramount + BUT to move shows that didn’t and have viewers is NOT fair. CBS is moving several of their shows of CBS to Parmount+ Evil, Seal Team, Clarice etc. CBS has had my favorite shows for decades but if I’m going to lose all or most of the shows… Read more »
Agree with not moving free programs to pay networks. Isn’t the cable bill high enough?
I would sadly not watch Evil if I had to pay for Paramount +
I love the show but will not support all these new additional channels that cost extra.
I agree with Jill. I’m really disgusted with all these “plus” channels that one has to pay to watch the series that were free. It’s just a way for the channels to make more money and lure in the watchers already “hooked” on the series. Shame on them. I’ll just wait for them to come out on Netflix, too.
I love this show but I’m not going to be suckered into paying to watch it. I’ll just wait until it’s on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Evil and Clarice are two of our very favorite shows and they seem to just come and then the hammer drops and they are no more, big bummer.
