Evil is an American supernatural drama series created by Robert and Michelle King, which premiered on CBS on September 26, 2019, before moving to Paramount+ for its subsequent seasons. The show follows a skeptical forensic psychologist (Katja Herbers), a Catholic seminarian (Mike Colter), and a technical contractor (Aasif Mandvi) who are hired by the Catholic Church to investigate purported supernatural events, often clashing with their personal beliefs. Their investigations become increasingly intertwined with their lives, particularly through the machinations of the rival psychologist Dr. Leland Townsend (Michael Emerson), who is obsessed with the main character. Filmed in New York City, the series ran for four seasons, with the final season premiering in May 2024 and concluding on August 22, 2024. Evil received critical acclaim for its performances, writing, direction, and cinematography, and was praised for its clever blend of procedural investigation with psychological and theological themes.
