AceShowbiz - From season 4 has premiered with a rare and impressive 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its final season, marking a significant achievement for the MGM+ horror series. Since its debut in 2022, From has steadily built a dedicated fan base and drawn critical acclaim, including praise from renowned author Stephen King. As anticipation grows for the show's conclusion, season 4's early reviews highlight the series' continued quality and compelling storytelling.

The show centers on characters trapped within a mysterious town, blending horror, mystery, and drama. Before season 4's release, MGM+ renewed From for a fifth and final season, signaling a planned conclusion to the narrative. On Rotten Tomatoes, season 4 currently holds a perfect 100% rating from critics, based on five reviews. While this score may fluctuate as more critiques are added, it reflects the series’ consistent critical success, with overall ratings of 97%, season 1 at 96%, season 2 at 93%, and seasons 3 and 4 both at 100%.

Here is a breakdown of the Rotten Tomatoes scores for From by season:

ScreenRant’s own review of season 4 by Jordan Williams awarded the new episodes a near-perfect 9 out of 10, praising the show for delivering many long-awaited answers while maintaining its chilling atmosphere and well-paced suspense. Williams emphasized that the series now has a clear trajectory as past, present, and future storylines converge with focused direction.

In contrast, Jasneet Singh of Collider gave season 4 a 7 out of 10, noting that while it may not carry the same intensity as earlier seasons, its character-driven plots add depth and meaning to the overall story. Singh suggested the season delivers value within the broader context of the show’s mythology.

Brian Tallerico, writing for RogerEbert.com, pointed out some issues with the writing but noted that the momentum of the story keeps viewers engaged despite occasional frustrations. He highlighted that the series’ pacing and narrative drive are key factors in maintaining interest.

Tessa Smith of Mama’s Geeky further praised season 4’s horror elements, especially with the increased presence of the enigmatic Man in Yellow, played by Douglas E. Hughes. Introduced in the season 3 finale, this sinister figure declared that "knowledge comes with a cost" and killed Jim Matthews, a central character since the show’s inception. Season 4 explores the fallout from this chilling encounter as well as new revelations about Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Jade Herrera (David Alpay), alongside the emotional impact of Jim’s death.

The main cast largely returns for season 4, with the notable addition of Julia Doyle as Sophia, a new series regular described as a sheltered and vulnerable pastor’s daughter. Season 4 trailers also tease the surprising return of Jim Matthews (Eion Bailey), appearing in scenes alongside his son Ethan Matthews (Simon Webster).

Other returning cast members include Harold Perrineau as Boyd Stevens, Hannah Cheramy as Julie Matthews, Scott McCord as Victor Kavanaugh, Elizabeth Saunders as Donna Raines, Ricky He as Kenny Liu, Avery Konard as Sara Myers, Chloe Van Landschoot as Kristi Miller, Corteon Moore as Ellis Stevens, Pegah Ghafoori as Fatima Hassan, Robert Joy as Henry Kavanaugh, Nathan D. Simmons as Elgin Williams, A.J. Simmons as Randall Kirkland, Kaelen Ohm as Marielle Sinclair, Samantha Brown as Officer Acosta, and Angela Moore as Bakta.

Despite the critical acclaim, audience scores for From have declined since the first season. Some viewers express frustration with the pacing and the prolonged mysteries that remain unresolved. However, critics’ positive reception of season 4 suggests these issues are less pronounced as the series moves toward its conclusion. The confirmed final season provides reassurance that the story will reach a definitive end.

From season 4 premiered on MGM+ on Sunday, April 19, 2026, with weekly episodes scheduled through June 21. Fans can expect the horror and mystery to intensify as the show approaches its final chapter, promising answers and suspense in equal measure.

Overall, From continues to stand out as a rare horror series that combines critical acclaim with a committed fan base, maintaining high standards as it prepares to close its story after five seasons.
