A series praised by Stephen King became an instant hit on streaming. Season 4 climbed to #2 on the ratings chart

In just one day, the sci-fi horror series that is said to be a replacement for “Lost” has already become one of the most popular titles in the United States, being highly praised by critics, write Screen Rant and CBR. The production quickly climbed the ranking of the most watched series in Romania as well.

After a year and a half hiatus, “From” returned to streaming with Season 4. According to audience data released by Flix Patrol, the production quickly climbed the streaming platforms' charts immediately after its release on April 19.

In Romania, “From” is available on HBO Max, including season 4, and according to Wednesday's data, it ranks 2nd in the list of the most watched series on the streaming platform owned by the media giant Warner Bros.

The new chapter has already been opened with the first episode of the ten. Unfortunately for fans, they have to be patient as each episode will be released weekly.

The first two seasons are also available for a fee on Prime Video, owned by Amazon, ie sold separately from the monthly subscription price. A bundle of 10 episodes costing 59.99 lei and one episode 15.99 lei.

The series was already dominating the rankings in the US before the premiere of season 4, thanks to the announcement made by MGM+, owned by Amazon, according to which “From” (translated “From” in Romania) will continue with season 5, which will also be the last, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Considering how many plot twists have happened so far, fans were probably trying to come to grips with what happened by the time the new season premiered.

'From' by the team behind 'Lost'

“From” is often compared to “Lost” for the story, but it has other things in common with the 2000s phenomenon series, including the crew behind the cameras.

“From” is produced by Jack Bender (“Lost” director and executive producer) and Jeff Pinkner (“Lost” writer and executive producer) along with John Griffin.

The series, like “Lost”, focuses on mysteries, this time the action takes place in an American city that holds captive everyone who arrives there.

The townspeople, old and new, try to maintain order while searching for a way out, all while facing terrifying threats in the night and the dangers of the forest near the town.

“From,” praised by Stephen King

Filmed in Halifax, Canada, in what the production team calls “From Town,” a city built from the ground up specifically for the show, “From” is the most-watched series on Amazon-owned MGM+ in the US.

And the decision to end the story with season 5 was not taken lightly, said the creators of the series.

They promise that fans will have an ending that will unravel all the mysteries that have kept the audience in suspense since the first season.

Another thing in common with the series “Lost” is the actor Harold Perrineau, who played Michael, now holding the title role in “From”.

The cast of the series released in 2022 also includes Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, Elizabeth Saunders, Scott McCord, Ricky He and Chloe Van Landschoot

All seasons have been well received by critics so far. Even famed writer Stephen King expressed his appreciation for the show midway through Season 2, taking on the show's creators, according to Screen Rant.
