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+?
Wow! Really disappointed on this. Waited all this time (during COVID) to find out what happened with this show. Like many, our cable/phone bill seems higher than our other utility bills now! And already paying for channels we can’t possibly watch nor do we want to! I have no need to watch other shows on Paramount so it doesn’t justify the extra $$. BRING IT BACK TO CBS PLEASE!!!
I loved this show and was waiting for its return. BUT it no longer matters to me since its going to be streaming and not on CBS. I am not rich and pay enough for my cable – I can not afford to pay anything more if I want to eat and pay rent. This is really sad where people who don’t have the extra money to do all the new streaming get to miss out on so much when you are still paying for your cable . Wish they would rethink this
No, do not have access to Paramont
How disappointing Evil will not be airing on regular network! Will not be able to enjoy season 2.
At first I wasn’t sure about Evil? But then it really proved to be very interesting! I am rather disappointed that it won’t return to regular programing on Channel 2! Our household cannot afford to have access to all the streaming that seems to be taking over. BOO!!
What happens to all viewers that can’t get streaming will shows come to regular channels
My cable company doesn’t offer Paramount +, so I am out of luck. I really enjoyed Evil too.
I already pay for cable now they want me to pay to stream a tv show. It started on CBS and should be left there. Sorry I won’t be watching on paramount!
I agree with you. Already pay high price for cable and to have to pay for separate streaming apps is just wrong. Shame on CBS.
I don’t know what Paramount is but CBS IS WHAT I CAN GET ON MY TV!!! DAMNIT PEOPLE!! WE LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Don’t put it on a site regular people can’t get!!
Really liked this show but will not pay to see it. They should leave it on CBS.
guess i’m done watching this show. agree with many of you. too many streaming crap going on. not worth it. too bad, season 1 was really good. 🙁
wonder why “network” tv rating are sliding, FAR TO MANY “STREAMING ” platforms, if you subscribe to all the streaming networks that have shows you want to see, it will cost about the same if not more than OVER PRICED CABLE , and nbc decides to put another show people watched on a streaming channel….no thanks, tired of paying for shows that should be on broadcast tv
not signing up for another paid streaming service I will miss this show it was on of my favorites !
Don’t want to sign up for another paid streaming service. We’re getting “nickel & dimed” to death. If it’s not on CBS I’m not watching!
That stinks ! I’ve been waiting & waiting for season 2 . No, I don’t have cable , Dish or Direct so I will not be able to watch . Unless they allow streaming on internet =(
