‘Evil’ to Wrap Season 4 Production Early After Cast Member Breaks for Personal Matter, Writers Strike Disrupts Filming

“Evil” is wrapping up filming on Season 4 earlier than anticipated. After the set faced disruptions by picketing Writers Guild members on Friday, the Paramount+ series is now seeing a cast member take a leave of absence due to a personal family matter. As a result, production has wrapped early on the next season.

A source close to the series would only confirm that the early end to filming was a result of the unnamed actor’s temporary exit from the show. However, no filming occurred on Friday, as Writers Guild members on strike demonstrated near the production.

The fourth season of “Evil” was commissioned to include 10 episodes. It remains unclear whether the early end to production will impact those plans.

On Friday, Starlee Kine, a writer on “Search Party” and public radio producer, shared a photograph of striking Writers Guild members on Twitter. Kine details how the picketers disrupted the shoot, claiming that production was shut down at about 1 a.m.

“A handful of us walking in a tiny circle cost them the day’s shoot,” Kine wrote. “We were told the producers were pissed. They kept the crew there for hours, sitting on the sidewalk. We felt the solidarity. We’ll win this whole thing together.”

“Evil” was renewed in July 2022, as the series was airing episodes of its third season. The psychological mystery series stars Katja Herbers as Dr. Kristen Bouchard, a forensic psychologist who investigates supernatural incidents with Catholic priest David Acosta (Mike Colter) and technology expert Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi).

Series creators Robert King and Michelle King serve as executive producers alongside Liz Glotzer, Rockne S. O’Bannon and Nelson McCormick. “Evil” comes from CBS Studios in association with King Size Productions. It is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
