I imagine the pitch meeting for From went something like this:
“Swap the island and the plane for a remote town and a camper van. And keep Harold Perrineau.”
“Sold! But, we’re going to put it on Epix.”
“…”
From also stars Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace, The Bridge, The Affair) Eion Bailey (Band of Brothers, Once Upon a Time, The Stand), Hannah Cheramy (Van Helsing) Ricky He (A Million Little Things, The Good Doctor) Elizabeth Saunders (Alias Grace) and Shaun Majumder.
The ten-episode series was written by John Griffin, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and Vivian Lee. Jack Bender, Jennifer Liao, Jeff Renfroe and Brad Turner are all credited as directors.
When they say “From the Executive Producers of Lost” they really just mean Jack Bender and Jeff Pinker. But the Russo Brothers are also involved, as well as a bunch of names from Extraction. I wonder if they’re trying to spell out a secret message with their show titles.
Creepy small towns are always a trap and monsters who only come out after dark probably means vampires. But who knows?! The show begins airing on February 20, 2022. Someone better subscribe to Epix to watch it.
