The Sci-Fi Hit From 5 Years Ago Can Help You Understand From Season 4 Better (When It Comes Out)

A sci-fi horror series that Stephen King picked as one of his favourites from last year, From is quite a popular choice among the audiences too, yet the show’s return with another season will require several more months, considering the dynamics that it had with its releases in the last 3 years.

Starring Lost’s star Harold Perrineau, From follows a nightmarish town’s self-appointed sheriff and mayor Boyd Stevens who now has to come up with a plan to save citizens after some weird and frightening events start unfolding.

The show is indeed one of the most outstanding TV pieces of the last couple of years, but some fans might still want to check another sci-fi hit out — the one that probably does the same thing even better.

Despite Some Differences, Dark Is Still Surprisingly Similar to From

Having concluded back in 2020, Dark remains one of the best sci-fi series on Netflix and can potentially help From’s fans fill the void while they’re waiting for the fourth season’s arrival. Just like From, Dark is set in a small town (but all the way across the ocean, in Germany) and follows Jonas Kahnwald who embarks on his own investigation of time travel notion when the town is hit by a series of children’s disappearances.

Both Dark and From are centred on a bit weird and sometimes even suspicious characters whose intentions might seem not very clear; additionally, the two also emphasise that future and past are in fact intertwined and can have a major impact on each other’s events.

Dark’s Time Travel Explanation Might Be Essential for From’s Season 4

Dark was always meant to come to its end after season 3, which it actually did, hence it’s a fully finished story giving its viewers a brilliantly narrated insight into how time travel actually works.

From’s season 3 finale saw Tabitha confessing to be a reincarnation of Miranda Kavanaugh, which might imply that the show will also have to deal with mysterious connections between past, present and future at some point. Since Dark has already been there and done that, the German hit series is very likely to turn into a good helper while preparing From’s fans for what’s next in the future fourth season.
