By and large, most of the projects listed in the list TV shows end this year will leave the TV schedule 2024 without much fanfare or dust being raised about their departure. But for a select few, the fan base is strong enough and connected enough to keep the hope of a surprise sequel alive. And an even more exclusive group includes the King of Horror himself, Stephen King.

How Stephen King entered the evil mix
For an interview that will probably take place DevilishStephen King appeared in the (provisional) series finale of the PBS News Hour in the Canvas segment to talk about his latest anthology collection You like it darker. And during that conversation, he expressed his appreciation for the show, which stars Mike Colter, Katja Herbers, Aasif Mandvi and Michael Emerson, among others. This is how he put it:
There’s a show on Paramount+ called Evil that I like. … It’s great. It’s funny, witty and very, very sharp.

At this point, even with all the enthusiasm to try, Devilish Back on TV for another round of crazy dolls, creepy kids, and Leland Townsend’s antics, Herbers’ emoji may reflect the idea that this is a lost cause and that King’s words are a last-ditch effort to find new life.
But then King reiterated how much he enjoys the show by sharing Herbers’ post and adding even more kind words about the series, as seen below:
Intelligent, thought-provoking, VERY scary at times. Plus, the chemistry between the three villain hunters is strong and… to quote Kamala… joyful.
King is also known for his own upcoming movies and shows He’s no stranger to providing a supportive pedestal for other authors with his social media praise prior to publication. Whether it’s new books from his horror fiction brethren, recommendations for classic films or TV shows that turn elevators into the scariest environments.
Will his kind words have any influence on DevilishFuture? It’s impossible to say at this point, but it doesn’t look like it will hurt his chances. Until we know more, watch a series of Shows that are a good fit for Devilish Fans.
