Better close your doors and shut your windows tight – MGMT+’s sci-fi thriller series From is set to return for Season 3. Township opens its roads once again and doesn’t hesitate to trap its inhabitants in mere seconds. Set in a creepy, small American town in the middle of nowhere, From follows a group of people who get stuck there, and no matter what they do, they can’t leave. If that isn’t bad enough, once the sun sets, terrifying creatures emerge from the woods, turning every night into a fight for survival.
Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau), an Iraq War vet, steps up as the unofficial leader, trying to keep everyone alive while they figure out what’s going on.
