Devilish ends with its upcoming fourth season– and that will be the case a wild ride to the endwhat with Rosemary’s baby now part of the campaign. The show follows a trio of appraisers (David, a priest, played by Mike Colter; Kristen, a psychologist, played by Katja Herbers; and Ben, a technology expert, played by Aasif Mandvi). Check out alleged possessions and occasional miracles on behalf of the Catholic Church in New York City.
Throughout its run – the show started on CBS and then moved to Paramount+ –Devilish has offered a unique blend of Crime drama with a focus on technology, supernatural horror and religious themes, the latter of which allows the show to explore questions of faith and power from many different angles. It is often critical of the Catholic Church, but leaves plenty of room for exploration of individual beliefs (including satanic ones). It also has an excellent selection of likeable and likeable ones deliciously villainous characters– in addition to the core trio, supporting cast (Christine Lahti as Kristen’s smarmy mother Sheryl; Michael Emerson as satanic servant Leland Townsend) and guest stars (Andrea Martin as a straight-laced nun, the various Broadway heavyweights appearing as). Priests) are first class – and have a wicked sense of humor.
Each episode is generally about a different case, but there are episodic elements carried over, as well as an overarching plot that is heading towards the end of the world, or at least a very determined attempt to bring it about. Here’s the official Paramount+ synopsis of what’s to come Devilish Season four (which will consist of 14 episodes, including a special four-part series finale):
“In the upcoming season, Kristen, David and Ben continue to investigate cases involving wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and plague, a dancing muse summoned by alleged witches and an evil relic. Meanwhile, Leland tries to trick Kristen into raising an anti-Christian baby conceived using her egg. David is recruited by the Vatican Secret Service to develop “Remote View,” a paranormal ability to see the invisible in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a mocking djinn until he finds an unusual solution to banish him. Ultimately, all three realize that they only have a few weeks left to assess the cases because the municipality has decided to disband the team due to lack of funds. This culminates in a final confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that represent evil in the modern world.”
