Stars Katja Herbers, Aasif Mandvi, and Mike Colter share what to expect from the final season.
And this show says, Not so much.
We wanted to play with the trope, Robert King adds.

Its kind of a funny way to address the Antichrist cliche.
Throughout its four seasons,Evilhas playfully reimagined plenty of classic horror elements, from exorcisms to demonic possessions.
It allows it to just be so much more than scary.

Ive always been impressed with the way that they have leaned into the absurdity.
Herbers says that she particularly relished filming those face-offs against Emerson.
I always look forward to those scenes.
Andrea Martin and Mike Colter in ‘Evil’.Elizabeth Fisher/Paramount+
Michael Emerson is such a great actor, and we make each other laugh with our meanness.
Sometimes it feels weirdly sort of sexual, like theyre taunting each other, she continues.
Im like, Youve got some problems, but uh, sure?
The Kings note that the tension between science and religion is a major theme this season.
In some ways, he has to sort of give into it.
It may be the most faith that Ben has to submit to than he ever has.
Season 4 also brings new challenges for Father David.
Hes a purist, Colter says of his faithful hero.
I think hes all over the place mentally: Who is he working for?
Who is he serving?
And obviously, theres the Pope.
Theres just so much going on for him, and hes trying to figure out whats best.
And I think obviously, hes conflicted about his emotions for Kristen and what his future holds.
Paramount+ has announced thatEvilwill end after season 4, wrapping up with an additional four episodes.
Theres not a lack of evil in the world, so theres not a lack of story to tell.
We do have these four extra episodes that I think are going to be really satisfying for fans.
