‘Evil’ Gets Long-Awaited Season 2 Premiere Date — Watch the Terrifying First Teaser (VIDEO)
Almost a year and a half after the Evil Season 2 finale aired in January 2020, the CBS drama has an official second season premiere date — on a new network.
The deliciously dark series moves to Paramount+ exclusively beginning Sunday, June 20, with 13 new episodes dropping weekly on Sundays. The premiere date was announced Sunday alongside the release of an all-new trailer for Season 2 which debuted during 60 Minutes.
The first season of Evil ended with some major questions, especially when it comes to Kristen (Katja Herbers) and whether or not she committed murder. And it looks like the new episodes will address that cliffhanger right away, as seen in the teaser, which is filled with plenty of new footage (though no dialogue), from big bad Leland (Michael Emerson) laughing at a bloody threat scrawled on the wall to a murderous Kristen and, of course, more demons.
According to the network synopsis, Season 2 “brings evil closer to home” and sees Kristen struggling with, yes, “killing a man.” Meanwhile, David (Mike Colter) “suffers temptation as he gets closer to his ordination,” and Ben (Aasif Mandvi) deals with “night terrors that prey on his greatest fears” (as seen in the above trailer).
Returning in the second season, in addition to the aforementioned cast members, are Christine Lahti, Kurt Fuller, Brooklyn Shuck, Skylar Gray, Maddy Crocco, and Dalya Knapp.

This was my favorite show. I have been waiting so long for it to return to CBS. Now, they are using it to extort a subscription to Paramount + from all of us. No Thanks. I'll watch something else instead. This is a dangerous precedent if networks start taking shows that were free to watch on their networks and putting them behind a paywall.

I love the show and have been waiting for season 2. I guess I won't be able to watch it because I'm not going to sign up for another streaming service. Should be on regular TV. This is really getting to be too much to have to sign up for a streaming service just to watch something I really like to watch.

Well, is it REALLY returning if they shove it ONTO their streaming service? NO, NO it's NOT. It's unacceptable.

I LOVED this show, but won`t be watching season 2. I`m not streaming a service just for one show. I pay enough as it is every month.

I think it’s rude to take a mainstream show… get me hooked and then make me pay to watch additional seasons

Guess who won't be paying for another streaming service ??? This guy. I'll just have to watch it through other methods much like I do for Star Trek Discovery. One show does not justify paying for a streaming service.

Really CBS really you have got to be kidding me! So the money you get from all your other tv "network" providers just isn't enough? Now you want to rake us over the coals for another subscription. It is shameful how you have blind sided and are treating your customers that pay their tv bills every month. I dont mind having the options of streaming services but I find it repulsive how each major network is doing exclusive shows only on their streaming services to gain a buck. Especially with so many who are struggling to pay their bills. Absolutely discussed!

It really sucks that they took this off CBS, and moved it to Paramount+. There's literally nothing worth watching on CBS anymore.

I don't mind paying for Evil If the keep it at around $7 a month. But it was free tv that made it a hit. In fact, it was free tv that made CBS a hit! Have some respect for your antenna viewers CBS!

I agree with others who are calling this extortion. I also will not be watching now. You will be lucky if you don't lose viewers. Too bad for the actors & actresses. Talented group whose characters may not survive to see a season 3.

My wife and I loved the show. We were waiting for it to come back. Even recommended to many friends and coworkers.
Will not be watching season two. Not going to pay for Paramount+!!!! Why should we? We already pay for the top tier satellite package. Between Netflix, Hulu, Prime and DTV, we are tapped out at 300$ per month.
Seriously thinking of just cancelling EVERYTHING after decades of paying.

This seems to be the new ploy some networks are using to squeeze money out of their viewers. You pay anywhere from 6 to 12 dollars or more a month to see maybe one or two decent shows. The rest is garbage. They should be ashamed of themselves. Evil is a great show but I’m certainly not going to pay to see it.

Within the first few sentences, the author states about a year and a half "after the season 2 finale...," and then goes on to describe the Season 2 Premier? Is it me, or is it a typo? What happened to all the editors, or do they not have editors for online publications?
I'm constantly seeing typos, missing words, and agregious mistakes everywhere now, in online articles.
It doesn't appear to matter if the article is in a well-respected publication's website or click bait.
I read a click bait article on Alicia Silverstone, that listed her as the lead actress in the 1996 film, "Fear."
Reese Witherspoon played the lead role in that film, with Mark Wahlberg.

This is getting ridiculous. Soon you'll have to have 15 different streaming services if you're watching 15 shows. It seems like for every new show a new streaming service pops up out of nowhere and now they're starting to do it for new seasons of exciting shows, so you'll be forced to sign up because you're already invested in the show.

This stinks. I've been waiting for the new season and now you have to pay? I pay enough for cable ,I'm not spending anymore money. This is very dissapointing. It's all about the money.

I think it is no less than extortion. Totally unacceptable by my standards. I do hope many more like me do not watch it anymore and a great series goes bust. I do believe it serves them right to cry when it is no longer around. But they just like the rest of the million dollar people could care less.

It has gotten ridiculous! Ages ago, tvs season were long and the reruns were in the summer so if you missed an episode you could catch it then. THEN the industry morphed into shorter seasons, way shorter seasons and they waited so darn long in between that I lost interest in viewing much of anything! Take Stranger Things for instance----18 months to 2 years between seasons?!!! Seriously?!!! NO PROGRAM IS WORTH THE HEADACHE!!!

What happened to editing?? ".... after the season 2 finale aired" and "13 episodes airing weekly". I love this show, I'm glad it's coming back. I hate that so many people don't proofread their work.

It sad everyone complaining they don't watch season 2 cause it on a streaming service. If they didn't pick up the show there a chance there would be no season 2 and just like every other streaming service they have to build up their tv shows and stuff they need to buy rights to shows and movies it not easy or cheap to do but everyone complaining would be the same group of muks complaining that their favorite show was cancelled and it so original and why do they always cancel my favorite shows and b.s like that
