From Season 4 Trailer Teases Boyd’s Descent Into Darkness
Things aren't looking great for Boyd as we roll into the fourth season of From.
It’s been well over a year since we caught up with the denizens of From’s nameless town, but it doesn’t look like things have become any safer for them. In a brand-new trailer for the cult MGM+ show, the horrors persist, and The Man in Yellow looms large as de facto leader Boyd (Harold Perrineau) tries to make sense of things, only to be pulled further into the darkness.
When we last left the township, even major characters were no longer safe as we watched Jim’s fatal encounter with The Man in Yellow, while Tabitha and Jade found out they’d already been reincarnated a couple of times (wasn’t it great to finally have some real answers in season 3?!) We also discovered that the town’s monsters can’t really die; they just get reborn. Yikes.
Ahead of the show’s return next month, a welcome but extremely unnerving trailer for season 4 sees the townsfolk gathering for the burials of not one but two people, new arrivals pulling up to the fallen tree, and Boyd on a dark path. “Something’s different,” he says at his wife’s grave. “I’m changing, and I don’t know if I like who I’m becoming.”
Check out the trailer below…
It seems that Boyd is reaching a breaking point after the events of season 3. Where once the town looked up to him, they now fear him and what he’s capable of. Boyd can’t quite escape the insidiousness that lurks in the shadows, and it’s creeping into his dreams. All knowledge comes at a cost, but Boyd also knows they’re running out of time and that they’re losing.
We also see Boyd taking out his anger on Acosta (Samantha Brown,) who has never properly trusted him. “You think you’re some kind of hero,” she tells him. “You’re a monster.” It definitely looks like Boyd is being positioned as the unexpected villain of season 4, teasing an emotional time ahead for everyone who relies on him to help solve their problems.
From season 4 will premiere on Sunday, April 19 on MGM+.
