As ‘Evil’ Moves to Paramount Plus, Creators Robert and Michelle King Give Season 2 a More Sinful Spin
Kate Aurthur editorLast month, Robert and Michelle King, creators of the supernatural thriller “Evil,” were anticipating that CBS would announce at its upfront that the show’s COVID-19-delayed second season would be on the network’s fall schedule. Then there was a sudden change in plans: Instead, “Evil” would move to Paramount Plus, ViacomCBS’ rebooted streaming service.David Stapf, the president of CBS Studios, where the Kings have a production deal, told them it was good news, Michelle King recalls: This way, “Evil” wouldn’t have to wait until the fall, it was a chance to “broaden the audience,” and it would allow them to put the show out “in a premier way.” The Kings are no strangers to Paramount Plus, after all.
