The first season found a good balance between scary and funny, as it explored morality and ethics within the realm of religious horror. There even was an entire subplot about the radicalization of a potential mass shooter. Still, the season finale left on a rather dark and murder-y note, that the trailer for Season 2 doubles down on. Nearly every major character is being chased by demons, including a huge one with wings that looks more impressive and expensive than anything we’ve seen on the show so far.
Here’s the official synopsis forEvilSeason 2.
“EVIL is a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings. Their job is to assess if there is a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.
The second season brings evil closer to home. Kristin struggles with her darker nature after killing a man, while David suffers temptation as he gets closer to his ordination. Meanwhile Ben is visited by night terrors that prey on his greatest fears. "
The second season ofEvilpremieres Sunday, June 20, exclusively on Paramount+, with subsequent episodes of the 13-episode season dropping weekly. Watch the trailer below:
