FROM drops its characters into a trap with no map and no exit — a seemingly ordinary American town that swallows travellers whole and refuses to let go. Beneath the veneer of domestic routine, something ancient and predatory rules the dark hours. The show is really about what people do when escape is theoretical and survival is daily: the psychology of entrapment, the paranoia that festers inside closed communities, and the creeping dread of a mystery whose rules keep shifting. If FROM has its hooks in you, you're drawn to horror rooted in place — isolated settings that become characters in their own right, slow-burn enigmas over cheap shocks, and the specific terror of the ordinary turned hostile.
From is an American science fiction horror television series created by John Griffin. The first season premiered on February 20, 2022, on Epix. The series stars Harold Perrineau, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, Elizabeth Saunders, Scott McCord, Ricky He, and Chloe Van Landschoot in main roles.
