The third season of MGM+’s sci-fi horror series From continues, bringing viewers back to its eerie, mysterious town.
Harold Perrineau’s character, Sheriff Boyd, keeps working to understand the strange forces holding everyone captive.
In the previous season, the townspeople and residents of Colony House struggled with food shortages, worsening after a storm. Sleep became dangerous with the introduction of the music box storyline.
There were several cliffhangers, including Jade (David Alpay) being troubled by a strange symbol, Boyd wondering if destroying the music box was the right choice, and Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno) being thrown off a lighthouse into a hospital in what seems to be the real world — but is it?
The third season starts right where Season 2 ended. Tabitha wakes up in a hospital, confused by a nurse’s comments.
The nurse tells her that hikers found her unconscious in the woods, and she had been in a coma. They are in Camden, Maine, and the nurse is concerned about the bruises and scratches on Tabitha’s body.
Tabitha tries to make sense of this, all while worrying about how she can reunite with her family, who are still trapped in the mysterious town that is now changing in alarming ways.
Jim and Kenny Discover Strange Statues in From Season 3
Boyd starts the season by tending to his shotgun wound, which he got from the relative of the first victim of the sleep demon. While wrapping his wound, Boyd talks to Father Khatri (Shaun Majumder), an imaginary priest.
He shares his concerns about the town’s situation — from the food shortages to new dangers, including the interaction he had with his hallucinated wife.
Just before Boyd destroyed the music box and freed the three victims, his dead wife (Lisa Ryder) eerily asked him to reconsider because the forest was feeding on his hope.
Their conversation gets interrupted when a commotion occurs outside. Ethan (Simon Webster) is brought home after trying to find his mother in the forest.
Jim (Eion Bailey), Ethan’s father, is then determined to search for his wife, but Boyd only allows him to go with Kenny (Ricky He).
Leaving his tense relationship with his children behind, Jim and Kenny follow Boyd’s directions and head into the woods.
There, they discover strange, ritualistic figures made of sticks, twigs, and skulls. Instead of fleeing, they decide to stay the night in a nearby hut, armed with a talisman.
As night falls, Jim realizes the reason Tabitha left them alone — she wanted their kids to have at least one parent. Realizing his mistake, Jim decides to return to town the next day.
Tabitha Struggles with Reality in From Season 3
Back in what seems to be the “real” world, Tabitha leaves the hospital after learning the police are coming to question her.
Fearing she might sound insane and end up in a mental institution, she decides to avoid the authorities and instead walks through the sunny streets of Maine.
The contrast between this place and the dark, terrifying town she was trapped in overwhelms her.
She notices two teenage girls with phones and borrows one to call her mother. During their emotional conversation, Tabitha keeps her situation a secret, unsure of what to do next.
Feeling lost, Tabitha finds refuge in a church and enters a confession booth. Without revealing everything she has been through, she shares her guilt over the death of her baby son, Tomas. This emotional moment overwhelms her, and she leaves the church.
As she walks out, the priest follows her, and they discuss Victor (Scott McCord) and his lunch box, which Tabitha is still carrying. Inside, she finds an address for Victor in Camden.
With a renewed sense of purpose, she makes her way to his house and is surprised to find his father, Henry (Robert Joy), living there.
Starvation Threatens in From Season 3
At Colony House, things have taken a dire turn. Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori), who is unexpectedly pregnant despite being previously diagnosed as infertile, suffers from severe morning sickness. Her partner, Ellis (Corteon Moore), is deeply worried about her as her health seems to worsen.
Donna (Elizabeth Saunders) pulls Ellis away from Fatima to help salvage any remaining crops after the storm.
Meanwhile, Elgin (Nathan D. Simmons), one of the new bus passengers, is haunted by terrifying nightmares of a female spirit, leading him to avoid sleep at all costs.
When Donna and Ellis arrive at the garden, they find all the crops have rotted. What was once a worrying food shortage has now become a life-threatening problem. Boyd, Donna, and Tian Chien (Elizabeth Moy) meet to plan how to feed the town.
They decide to rely on animals while attempting to grow crops in different soils, hoping to find a suitable location.
Ethan overhears their conversation and becomes upset. Boyd, who recently broke up a fight between Ethan and Randall (A.J. Simmons) over Ethan’s favorite goat, Alba, tries to console the boy. Ethan asks Boyd to kill Alba first so she won’t have to watch the other animals die.
Night Brings Fear in From Season 3 Premiere
As night falls, the tension escalates. Boyd is in the police station with Jade, who wakes up from a drunken sleep after Boyd dragged him out of the bar.
They look outside and see a cow walking down the street — the night creatures have let the animals out of the barn.
Boyd, Jade, and Tian rush outside to get the animals back, all while watching for danger. Ethan also sees Alba wandering and opens the door to find one of the creatures waiting.
His sister, Julie (Hannah Cheramy), quickly grabs him and escapes through the back door. Sarah (Avery Konrad) pulls them into the bushes, and they hide in Randall’s bus, watching the chaos unfold.
Jade witnesses one of the creatures kill a cow, leaving him frozen in shock. He is eventually pulled to safety, unable to do more. Tian, however, helps Boyd, who is struggling to get a cow into the barn. Once they lock it inside, they feel relief — but it’s short-lived.
The smiling creatures were hiding in the barn, and they capture both Boyd and Tian. The creatures tie Boyd up and begin torturing Tian, forcing him to watch.
The scene focuses on Boyd’s face as he begs for mercy and tries to encourage Tian, all while he breaks down inside. From Season 3 Episode 1 is now streaming on MGM+ in the U.S.
