MGM+, an Amazon company, is a premium linear channel and streaming service delivering a broad lineup of quality original series and docuseries, the latest movie releases and classic film franchises -- all of which available in the U.S. on TV, on-demand, online and across your key devices. In turn, MGM+ is a destination for original premium content, with original series including sci-fi horror series FROM, Emmy-winning series Godfather Of Harlem, the Western adventure Billy The Kid, cinematic dramatic series War Of The Worlds, Rogue Heroes, and Belgravia; Paltrocast interviews with stars from several of those shows are hyperlinked above. The network is also the home of multiple acclaimed docuseries titles, including Emmy-nominated Laurel Canyon, Helter Skelter, Slow Burn, My Life As A Rolling Stone, NFL Icons, and Blumhouse’s Compendium Of Horror. Premium movies are also available via MGM+, including Top Gun: Maverick, No Time To Die, House Of Gucci, Cyrano, and Licorice Pizza.

Season 3 of FROM premiered on September 22, 2024 via MGM+. This new season of FROM unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest -- including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down. In the wake of Season Two’s epic cliffhanger, escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them.

The series stars Harold Perrineau (Lost), and its ensemble cast includes Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full Of Grace, The Affair), Eion Bailey (Band Of Brothers, Once Upon A Time), Hannah Cheramy (Under Wraps, Van Helsing), Simon Webster (Strays), Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot (Charity), Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori (The Perfect Wedding), David Alpay (Castle Rock), Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy and Avery Konrad (Honor Society). Season 2 added new series regulars, including Scott McCord (East Of Middle West), Nathan D. Simmons (Diggstown, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Kaelen Ohm (Hit & Run, Eumenides Falls), Angela Moore (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maid), AJ Simmons (Reacher), and Deborah Grover (My Next Door Nightmare, Jann). New cast members in Season 3 include Robert Joy (CSI: NY) and Samantha Brown (Y: The Last Man).

FROM is created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater), directed and executive produced by Jack Bender (Lost, Game Of Thrones, Mr. Mercedes), and executive produced by showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Fringe, Alias, Lost). Alongside Pinkner, Griffin and Bender, serving as executive producers are Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, Scott Rosenberg from Midnight Radio, Anthony and Joe Russo, Mike Larocca from AGBO, and Lindsay Dunn. Midnight Radio’s Adrienne Erickson serves as co-executive producer. The series is internationally distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. Reportedly, the series premiere of FROM was MGM+’s most viewed original series premiere in the history of the premium network.

In October 2024, I had the pleasure of speaking with FROM star Scott McCord again via Zoom, as embedded above and set to air later via the Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz television series; 2 previous Paltrocast interviews with McCord from 2023 are embedded below.
